Shared Borrowing

A Scarborough Library card gives you full access to our physical and digital collections- but your borrowing privileges don't end there.  You can also obtain a Portland Public Library card, perform walk-in borrowing privileges at many libraries near and far throughout the state, and request items from other libraries for pick up here in Scarborough.

The Maine Reciprocal Borrowing 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.
