Library Cards for Out-of-State Residents
Out of state residents may obtain a library card by paying a $30.00 fee every two years, and following the same rules listed for Massachusetts residents. The $30.00 fee is waived for residents of Enfield, Suffield, and West Suffield Connecticut, and people employed by a business or agency in the Town of Agawam.
Once a library card is obtained, a patron has a choice of borrowing a wide range of materials from the Agawam Public Library including, but not limited to: books, encyclopedias, puppets, puzzles, magazines, books-on-tape, books-on-CD, music compact discs, music cassettes, CD-ROMs, videocassettes, and DVDs.
Patrons are required to present their library cards every time they borrow materials, use the library's computers, or reserve items.
