Databases
There is no charge to use library databases.
Ancestry Library Edition is available inside the library building. This resource is for genealogy research.
Novelist Plus is available online thanks to the NH State Library. This database allows you to find read-alikes for your favorite books and authors.
Libby is an app you can access with your library card on any device. It provides ebooks, audiobooks, and magazines in a manner similar to a physical library. There are a limited quantity of most titles, and if they are all checked out you can place a hold for it. This database is offered in conjunction with the New Hampshire State Library.
Hoopla is another library app, also accessed with your card on any device. It provides ebooks, audiobooks, movies, music, and more. Items in the collection are always available, but each patron has a limit of 4 borrows per month.
Interlibrary Loans
Looking for a title we don’t have? If you are a Belmont Public Library card holder, we will attempt to borrow it from another library for you through a reciprocal arrangement with other libraries to share materials not found in our own collection.
