Patrons must have a NTLC full privilege card for at least six months with no outstanding balance in order to be eligible for a TexShare card. Patrons who are issued a Krum TexShare card may take that card to obtain a library card at another TexShare participating library, and are responsible for returning items borrowed to the lending library.
