TexShare is a consortium of Texas libraries joining together to share print and electronic materials, purchase online resources, and combine staff expertise.
The TexShare Card is a statewide library card that lets you borrow books and other physical materials from more than 500 libraries across the state. TexShare cards can be provided to TLU students, faculty and staff member who are in good standing with the library and institution. That means that as a TLU student in good standing, you may borrow materials from a university library near your. You can contact the TLU Blumberg Library to get a TexShare card.
Each library sets its own lending policies for visiting TexShare Card users. Many libraries restrict the type or number of materials that a visiting TexShare Card user may borrow. Others impose a minimum age requirement. Typically, libraries do not permit TexShare Card holders to download ebooks or eAudiobooks. Fines for late returns or lost materials apply to TexShare Card borrowers.
The first time you visit a library to use your TexShare Card, be sure to bring a photo ID, your library card (ID card) from your home library, and your TexShare Card. You’ll be asked to complete a registration form in order to activate your borrowing privileges at that library.
