OCLN Member Libraries and Libraries throughout the Commonwealth know that we can provide better service at lower cost by polling resources. OCLN Member Libraries have been sharing resources since 1984!

Brockton Public Library is participating in the "Miles to Reach You" awareness campaign with our network, OCLN, starting January 17 to February 17. The campaign is to educate our library patrons on the process of lending between member libraries, the importance of the delivery to libraries and patrons, and how it is funded.
