New Books
We have a lot of popular best sellers at the Waban Library Center – books that typically have long waiting lists at other libraries. We are also happy to take recommendations for books from our patrons. We also have a new collection of Playaways – all in one devices for you to listen to a favorite book. Please fill out the form online or call us during our open hours. We are not able to take book requests by email or by filling out the ask the librarian form.
