What if the library doesn't have what I'm looking for?

If we do not have an item you're looking for, there are several ways we may be able to find it for you.

North Texas Library Consortium (NTLC) Libraries

Sanger Public Library cardholders have access to 6 other area libraries in the North Texas Library Consortium (NTLC).  Requested items will be sent to Sanger Public Library; you may also check out items in person at NTLC libraries with a Sanger card.

Inter-Library Loan (ILL)

We can search libraries across Texas and the rest of the country to see if the item you are looking for is available. There is a small charge for the cost of postage (usually between $1 and $4).  Please contact us in person, by phone, or by email to request an ILL. 

Please note: ILL is available to those who have an account (in good standing) for at least 6 months.

TexShare

TexShare is a service of the Texas State Library that allows cardholders to check out at Texas libraries that are not in their local system or consortium. To get a TexShare card, you will need to have a Sanger Library card in good standing and come into the library to apply for one.

Please note: TexShare cards are available to those who have an account (in good standing) for at least 6 months.
