Austin Public Library cardholders who have had their card for at least six months and have an account in good standing can apply for a paper TexShare Card. This card lets them borrow items from other libraries that are part of the TexShare program. Either the home library or the lending library can take away TexShare privileges at any time.
To get a paper TexShare Card, Austin Public Library cardholders must contact Customer Service at 512‑974‑7475 or circ.link@austintexas.gov. They will need to fill out a TexShare Agreement Form. The TexShare Card will be mailed to them in 7–10 days. It will be good for up to one year.
- Anyone using a TexShare Card at another library must follow that library’s rules and policies.
- TexShare cardholders are responsible for everything checked out with the card. They must also pay any fees or charges, including collection fees.
For more information go to the TexShare Card Program website or call 512-974-7475.
