Library Cards
All library users, ages 4 and up, may get library cards. You will need identification with your current address to register. Common forms of identification include valid licenses, utility bills, and checkbooks. Peabody library cards are valid at all NOBLE Libraries, and can be used to check out circulating library materials such as books, music and movies. Your library card also allows you to sign up for computers and borrow museum passes. If you lose your library card, a replacement card costs $1.
Museum Passes
The library offers a selection of museum passes for use by Peabody residents. Please see our museum passes page for an up-to-date list of our passes.
Book Returns
Materials may be returned to the Main Library during library hours.
If you need to return materials before or after hours, there are book return bins at the South and West Branch Libraries.
Items may also be returned at any of the NOBLE libraries.
