    • You present a valid Texas driver's license or identification card showing your current address.
    • Your borrower account is in good standing (no overdue materials and no outstanding charges for lost or damaged materials).

    The Irving Public Library will issue you a card valid at other TexShare libraries for six months from the date of issue. When borrowing an item from one of these libraries, you will be required to present your TexShare card and a valid photo ID such as a driver’s license or state-issued ID card. The lending library may have additional conditions or restrictions for TexShare borrowers, so check their policies prior to visiting.

    Failure to return materials borrowed with a TexShare card and/or pay any charges imposed by a TexShare library may result in suspension of your borrowing privileges at the Irving Public Library and/or your account being turned over the library’s collection agency.
