TexShare borrowers in good standing may use the Library's
materials, fee-based electronic databases, and reference services
in the Library during normal operating hours. Circulating
materials may be borrowed for 3 weeks, 5 items at a time,
with 1 renewal allowed. A maximum of 5 reserves may be placed
on circulating materials. Fines for overdues [50-cents/day]
and lost materials must be paid in full to be in good standing.
ELIGIBILITY:
TexShare borrowers may register at the Circulation Desk with
their TexShare Card [from their "home" library]
and a photo ID. TexShare Cards expire August 31st each year,
so borrowers will need to reapply each year on or after September
1st.
CARD AVAILABILITY:
TexShare borrowers may register at the Circulation Desk during
normal Library hours [see hours posted on our Web site]. Materials
may be borrowed during these hours, too. Borrowing privileges
must be renewed after September 1st each year. Borrowing privileges
will be suspended for any TexShare borrower who owes overdue
or lost book fines.
