library networks

Library networks are interconnected systems that link multiple libraries, allowing them to share resources like books, digital materials, and information services. This collaboration enables patrons to access a broader range of materials than any single library could provide alone, often through shared catalogs or interlibrary loan services. By working together, libraries can improve efficiency, reduce duplication, and enhance access for their users. Think of it as a community of libraries functioning as a unified resource hub, making it easier for everyone to find and borrow the materials they need.
