The Oswego Public Library District participates in the Reciprocal Borrowing Program (RBP). Reciprocal borrowers must present and register the card issued by their home library. Access to eResources is available only through your home library.

The Oswego Public Library District does not charge overdue fines for materials returned late. Although you will no longer be charged a late fee, after an item is two weeks overdue, your account will be blocked from any further checkouts until you return the item.

Patrons, and guardians in the case of a child, will be denied library service until accounts are cleared. 

Patrons can request materials from other libraries by asking a librarian to place an order or by submitting a request through the Purchase Request Form on our website.
