Maine Reciprocal Borrowing Program
What is the Maine Reciprocal Borrowing Program
MRRP strengthens library resource sharing across Maine.
This program allows anyone with a valid library card from one of the participating libraries to visit any of the other participating libraries and check out materials in person. It's referred to as "walk-in" borrowing because it essentially turns your local library card into a "statewide" library card!
Not all libraries in Maine are eligible to participate at this time because the computer systems currently required to allow participation are not used by all libraries. The Maine State Library and Maine Info Net are continuously seeking ways to increase participation by finding solutions that eliminate these systematic and technical barriers.
Your Library Card Just Got Better.
