iBorrow is Here

After hours? Don’t have time to stop by the library? No problem! You can now scan the shelves of dozens of Florida libraries without ever leaving the chair in front of your computer. Just logon to a new online service called “iBorrow” and check out the books or other materials you need. Your order will be delivered to your local library in a few days for pick-up.

By logging on to www.iborrow.org, you can search the collections of 45 different participating libraries across the state of Florida to request materials that are not available from the local library catalog.

iBorrow replaces Alleycat resource sharing and is a service of the Tampa Bay Library Consortium. Funding is made possible by federal Library and Technology Act (LSTA) grants, as administered by the State Library of Florida.
