Q. How do I get a TexShare card?

If you are a San Antonio Public Library (SAPL) patron who wants a free, TexShare card issued by SAPL, then you must be one of the following:

• A Bexar County resident.
• An individual that owns a business or property in Bexar County.
• A City of San Antonio Employee.
• An active SAPL patron in good standing (no payment plans).

Getting your TexShare card in person:

• Stop by any San Antonio Public Library Location to obtain a San Antonio Public Library Card. 

If already a San Antonio Public Library card holder:

• Stop by any San Antonio Public Library Location. 
• Let a staff member know you are interested in obtaining a TexShare card 
• Provide your San Antonio Public Library card and photo ID and proof of current address – like your driver’s license. 
• There is no separate application necessary, only a need to re-verify your information on your San Antonio Public Library card

If you live outside of Bexar County:

• You can obtain a TexShare card from SAPL if you pay the current Out of County Library Card Fee.

OR

• Out-of-county patrons can get a TexShare card from their library and will then be eligible for a free, limited SAPL account (restricted to a 5 item checkout). TexShare Card patrons must be present to obtain a SAPL card.
