Don't have a Library card, but looking to get your hands on a popular book, CD or DVD before it is borrowed by someone else? Greenwich Library's new online registration service will help satisfy both your needs.
"This great new service affords new and old residents, alike, the opportunity to become Greenwich Library patrons from the convenience of their homes," Lending Services Manager Elaine Tai-Lauria said.
Log on to the Greenwich Library Web site to register for your new Library card. After registering, place one item on hold and pick up your Library card when you retrieve your held item. Online registration is only for Greenwich residents who do not currently have either a Greenwich Library or Perrot Memorial Library card.
