TexShare Card Program
A Library Resource Sharing Program of Texas

What is the TexShare Card Program?

TexShare provides leadership and support for the development and use of a statewide library card.
The TexShare Card Program allows registered users of participating TexShare libraries to have direct, personal access to library materials not available at their local public or academic libraries.
Many Texas public libraries, colleges, community colleges, and universities both public and private - participate in the Card Program.
TexShare libraries adopt a common goal of promoting and facilitating access to information, communication, and scholarly research among their communities.

To Take Advantage of the TexShare Card Program, Just Follow These Simple Steps:

Register for and receive a TexShare Card from your home library.
Consult the TexShare web site to see the list of libraries which participate in the Card Program and the specific lending policies of the library you wish to visit.
Present your TexShare card at the reciprocating library's circulation desk to activate your checkout privileges. You may be required to show a photo I.D.
Select the books you wish to borrow and check them out at the circulation desk. Remember that fees will be assessed for lost, late, or damaged materials.
When you're finished with the materials, return them to the lending library either in person or by firstclass mail.
