Card Program has greatly expanded services to all who use the Sachse
Public Library. Sachse Library patrons are now able to borrow
materials from library collections all across Texas by using a special
library card called the TexShare card. The card is accepted in a
wide variety of public and academic libraries, allowing borrowers in good
standing access to hundreds of books, videos, CDs and other materials at
other TexShare libraries. There are no fees attached to the TexShare
card. To qualify for a
TexShare card, one must be a registered library cardholder in good
standing of the Sachse Public Library. TexShare cardholders must
observe the lending policies of participating libraries. Currently, more
than 500 libraries in Texas participate in the TexShare Card Program. The
value and uniqueness of the TexShare card allows libraries to offer
infinitely more resources to people not only in Sachse, but people
throughout Texas. A library card from Sachse Public Library, in
combination with the new TexShare card, is your ticket to a powerful
network of library resources in Texas. To learn which libraries
participate in the TexShare Card Program, visit www.texshare.edu/generalinfo/about/programs.html. The
