If you have a smart device, we highly recommend the Libby app. It’s free to download, and you’ll get access to the entire C/W MARS digital collection (eBooks and audiobooks). You just need a library card to get started.
If your book isn't on the shelf at the public library when you visit, you can talk to the librarians and staff about placing a hold, meaning that another library in the C/W MARS library network will send a copy of the book to the UFPL so you can pick it up there.
You can also check online to see if your book is available at the library. If you know your library card number and PIN, you can also request a copy to be sent to the Uxbridge Free Public Library to you.
- Go to uxbridgelibrary.org.
- Click the link at the top of the page for Search the Catalog.
- Search the title of your book.

- For each result, you can see the call number (where to find it in the library) and whether or not it is available. If 0 copies are available at the UFPL, you can place a hold on it using your library card number.
- If you see that it is an eBook and there is a link saying C/W MARS patrons can download a copy, follow these directions for setting up and using OverDrive to borrow eBooks and audiobooks on your iPad or other device.
- If your search yields no results, you can search all the libraries in the C/W MARS network at once, then place a hold on a copy from another library.
If you have any problems or questions, you can always stop in at the Uxbridge Free Public Library or call them - see their website for contact information. Feel free to email me (Ms. Charpentier - echarpentier@uxbridge.k12.ma.us) with questions as well.
