Alumni & Community Library Services

Welcome!

Community residents are permitted to use tables and seating in the Library. If a Community resident would like to check out print books and/or DVDs AND use a computer in the Library, they must become a WC Community Patron. If a Texas resident would like to check out print books and/or DVDs they can use a TexShare card to become a WC Library patron. 

Texas Resident

Imagine a Library as Big As Texas!


A TexShare Card provides you with borrowing privileges for physical items from more than 500 participating libraries across the state.

If you’re a registered patron of a participating library, you may request a TexShare Card from your home library. You must be a patron in good standing and have demonstrated compliance with your library’s existing borrowing policies.

  • To check out items from the WC Library, bring your TexShare Card and a picture ID to the Circulation Desk
  • You may check out 5 total items (Books and/or DVDs)
    • Books for 21 days
    • DVDs for 7 days

As a TexShare patron, you will be responsible for overdue or lost materials.

  • The fine for overdue materials is .25 cents per day, per item (maximum charge of $15.00 per item).

  • When an item is declared lost, the library forgives the fines and charges the patron a $20.00 Lost Item Processing Fee plus the Cost of Replacement (a current market price or $50.00—whichever is less).  The maximum possible charge is $70.00 per item.
