Don't already have a library card? Get one! It's easy, it's FREE!
You can apply for a temporary SAILS Library card. Click here to register. With a temporary card, you will have immediate access to some online resources, like Overdrive and the statewide databases. If you run into any issues with this, then reach out to us by phone at 508-998-0270 or email dbrasseur@sailsinc.org or acupl@sailsinc.org. Of course, if you do already have a card but are having issues with using it, please reach out. We're happy to help!

Overdrive & Libby Available 24/7, all FREE
For e-books, audiobooks, videos, and magazines, we have Overdrive, which has a very easy to use app known as Libby. You can borrow up to 6 items at a time, and you can borrow state-wide, meaning your SAILS card allows you to borrow from these partner libraries: Boston Public Library, CLAMS, CW MARS, Merrimack Valley Library Consortium, Minuteman Library Network, NOBLE: North of Boston Library Exchange, and Old Colony Library Network. That's A LOT of material to check out. We have great step-by-step instructions on how to add libraries below.
With Overdrive and the Libby app, if you're done with an item early, then return it early. You'll immediately be able to borrow another title. If there's a holds queue for what you had checked out, then it will immediately be available for the next person.
If you're interested in something but can't find it in Overdrive or the Libby app, or if you find an item has a particularly long wait time, send an email to dbrasseur@sailsinc.org.

hoopla
Available 24/7, all FREE
You need an Acushnet library card to access material through hoopla. E-books, audiobooks, comics, music, movies and TV shows are available immediately (no holds!). For the time being, we've raised the download limit to 10 per month.
If you're an Acushnet resident who applied for a temporary SAILS card and want access to hoopla, please email dbrasseur@sailsinc.org.
Other libraries do offer hoopla to their patrons, as well. If you don't have an Acushnet Library card (one with a barcode that starts in 22032), then you may still be in luck. Contact your member library directly.

TumbleBooks
Available 24/7, all FREE
TumbleBookLibrary is a great resource with material for kids in Kindergarten through the 6th grade. There are over 1,100 titles to choose from, and you normally just need an Acushnet Public Library card to login and gain full access. However, the TumbleBooks team has actually made their entire collection open to public libraries through the summer. All of the links are on our At Home Resources page. You won't need a library card at all, if you go through these links. Please note: there's a link for teen books and another for adult books, so it's not all kid friendly.
