Public libraries if you have a public library card from one of the libraries on this list, you can use it to check out books at any of the other public libraries. 

Association of Chicago Theological Schools (ACTS)
TEDS students have privileges at all the ACTS schools.  For schools not in I-Share, such as Garrett, McCormick, Mundelein Seminary (St. Mary's), or Seabury Western, students need to pick up a special ACTS card at the Reference Desk. This card can be used to check out books at these schools. These books may be returned at the Rolfing Library in the Interlibrary Loan book bin. Books may take as long as one week to get back to their original library, and students are responsible for any fines accrued during this shipping time. 

InfoPass 
To visit other academic libraries not in I-Share, such as Northwestern University Library and University of Chicago, you can pick up an InfoPass at the reference desk.  An InfoPass does not give checkout privileges; it only conveys the need that a student needs to view a certain library collection.
