Program information

Springfield Library is a participating member of the Oregon Library Passport resource sharing program.

The Oregon Library Passport Program is meant to be an exchange; a library extends service to users of other participating libraries, and vice versa.

Borrowing is free of charge to the patron and activity is patron-initiated.

Participating libraries set their own lending options for the program.

Cardholders must be in good standing at their home library.
