How do I apply for privileges at other libraries?

To apply for borrowing privileges at another I-Share library:

There's no need to apply for privileges at another I-Share library: your JKM Library card is your borrower's card at all 89 I-Share libraries. A complete list of I-Share libraries is available here.

Fines/fees policies differ among I-Share libraries, and you are expected to abide by the policies of each library. Fines/fees owed to another i-Share library cannot be paid at JKM.
