Some libraries have partnerships with other libraries, which let you borrow titles from a partner library using your home library card.

If your library has one of these partnerships, you'll see a list of partner libraries when you sign into your home library.

Then, to add your card for a partner library:

  1. Go to Menu > Add Library.
  2. Search for the partner library and open it.
  3. Tap Sign In With My Card.
  4. Under "Partner Libraries," choose your home library from the list and sign in.

Note: Some partner libraries may place limits on visiting library cards. For example, when you visit a partner library, you may have a lower checkout limit, lower priority for holds, or the inability to place holds.
