Library Cards

Live within the CCRLS service area? Great! Then you already qualify for a 'Basic' library card at no cost. If you also happen to live within the city boundaries of a member library, then you qualify for a full-service card at that location. Register online for a temporary, limited account and then visit your local CCRLS library to upgrade it to a permanent status.

Courier Service

Borrow materials from any CCRLS member library. Our daily courier will deliver the requested material to the library of your choice and return it to its owning library when you're done with it.

System Administration

CCRLS manages the core system that allows member libraries to do business - acquire, catalog & circulate material.

Online Catalog

Use the CCRLS catalog to discover what's available to member libraries and their patrons. You can access your account to manage holds, renewals, etc. Use our mobile app for convenient access on Android and Apple devices.

eBooks

CCRLS provides access to eBooks, eMagazines & digital audiobooks. These collections are available to the patrons of all member libraries.

Electronic Resources

CCRLS provides member library patrons with a variety of electronic resources. Most of these resources can be accessed remotely with your library card.

Interlibrary Loan

Looking for a title that can't be found in our member library collections? Not to worry. Interlibrary Loan allows patrons to request titles held by libraries outside of our system. CCRLS services all member library borrowing requests and coordinates lending to our external ILL partners.

Internet Access

CCRLS provides network infrastructure and administration to many of its member libraries. This supports our shared automated system and provides public internet access at those locations.

WiFi Hotspots

In partnership with Chemeketa Community College, CCRLS provides access to a collection of mobile WiFi hotspots. These devices are intended to help patrons who otherwise lack reliable internet access and are circulated at our member library locations. Learn more about this service.

Hardware

CCRLS manages over 500 pieces of hardware (computers & related peripherals) at member library locations.

Ready-to-Read

CCRLS supports our member libraries' Ready-to-Read activities through grant oversight & management.
