Forest Trails Library Consortium FTLC card holders from participating public libraries must present a valid FTLC card and a picture ID at the Circulation Desk. FTLC card holders must be 18 or older to obtain borrowing privileges. A Special Borrowers card will be issued which will allow check-out of up to 3 books for 1 week at a time. This card expires at the end of each calendar year. FTLC card holders from colleges and universities must obtain a TexShare card from their school library.
Library cards are non-transferable.
Other Special Borrowers Anyone 18 or older who does not qualify for library privileges of any other type may complete a Special Borrowers Card Application at the Circulation Desk. Approval is based upon the ability to show intention of using our library for academic research of some type and several other criteria. Educators from East Texas area school districts, professional writers, journalists, media people, medical personnel and members of many other professions are usually approved. Since the application must be verified, usually by telephone calls, it can take several working days before a card is issued. Approved cards can be picked up at the Circulation Desk after notification of the approval or mailed to the new patron.
