SERVICES Reciprocal borrowing agreements have been developed between neighboring counties to allow walk-in patrons to check out materials free of charge from any participating library.  POLICIES Manatee County Agreement Manatee County residents' reciprocal privileges are governed by the TBLC Agreement below. Charlotte County Agreement Charlotte County residents may receive a free Sarasota County library card by presenting their Charlotte County library card and one form of identification with their current address on it. Charlotte reciprocal cards will expire on June 30, each year and will be renewed as long as the reciprocal agreement is in effect. Materials borrowed from a Sarasota County Library must be returned to a Sarasota County Library. A courier system has not been established between the two counties. Charlotte reciprocal borrowers must abide by the same policies and procedures regarding overdue fines and replacement fees as Sarasota County borrowers. TBLC Agreement (Tampa Bay Library Consortium) Libraries who are members of TBLC's reciprocal borrowing agreement have agreed to allow patrons from participating libraries to check out materials free of charge. Patrons may use their own library card, with a reciprocal borrowing sticker attached, to check out materials.
