TexShare Cards for ACC Students, Faculty, and Staff
(Sept 8, 2020) The TexShare Card Program has reopened in Texas with some significant modifications.
Many Libraries across the state remain closed or have limited access to their physical spaces and collections. Please call ahead to find out out about services available to Texshare cardholders before planning a visit to a participating library.
ACC Affiliates (Staff, Faculty, and current Students) may request new Texshare cards or card renewals via an online form and a card will be mailed via USPS.
As ACC Libraries remain closed for in-person services, we are not loaning any materials to Texshare Card Visitors.
If you have more questions about this or any of our services you may reach out to our 24/7 chat for assistance.
