TexShare is a two-pronged program offered by the Texas State Library and Archives Commission to library patrons throughout Texas. The card program provides a statewide library card for Texas residents. Patrons can obtain a TexShare card and use it at any other participating library in Texas. Cards will be issued to any patron after obtaining a library card and remaining in good standing for three months. A TexShare card renews after one year.
The other TexShare program is the database program which is explained in the Library's Electronic Resources User Policy.
cloudLibrary is an e-material collection that allows card holders to access downloadable e-books and audio books using their library card and password. The loan period for downloadable items can be found on the cloudLibrary website.
