Additional Services
Reciprocal Borrowing
Libraries participating in the Tampa Bay Library Consortium’s Reciprocal Borrowing Program have agreed to allow users from other library systems to check out materials free of charge.
To use this privilege, Library users can take the library card issued from their “home” location to register for a card at another participating location.
This program is available for patrons of participating libraries only.
Borrower Responsibilities
- Present your library card to a reciprocal borrowing library to register for library privileges in that library system.
- Be in good standing at your local library.
- Be informed and abide by the rules and policies of the participating libraries you use.
- Assume responsibility for all materials borrowed on your cards, including payment for lost/damaged materials, overdue fines or other fees.
- Return materials to any participating library in a timely manner according to the rules of the lending library.
