With an aim to enrich community access to library resources, The John Stewart Memorial Library at ����̽�� is partnering with the Franklin County Library System to provide public library users access to books and research available at the ����̽�� library. Public library users need only to present an existing public library card and a state ID to borrow books and access the College library databases using campus-provided computers. As part of this exchange, ����̽�� students can use their student IDs to borrow books from any library within the Franklin County Library system.

This partnership simplifies access to a broader range of resources, benefiting both public and academic library users. “It is a powerful united front in knowledge sharing. The partnership between the ����̽�� library and the Franklin County Library System bridges resources, expands access, and empowers our communities to thrive academically and informationally,” said Denise Sandell, director of the ����̽�� library.

The joint initiative raises the profile of all libraries involved while also encouraging greater use of their resources and underscores the unique strengths of these different libraries. While academic libraries provide access to specialized databases and advanced research materials, public libraries excel in offering the latest fiction, children’s books, e-books, audiobooks, and various educational events for the whole family.

We are extremely excited to be partnering with ����̽�� on this endeavor. Our community is better when we work together,” said Andrew C. Vickers, executive director of the Franklin County Library System.
