The ReciproCard Report
How reciprocal agreements, partnerships, and non-resident cards provide access to Libby, and how it all looks from one state to the next. Pick your state to see where it lands, then tap any other state to read its full report.

All the research I've put into ReciproCard has been eye-opening. Mapping out reciprocal agreements, Libby partners, and non-resident card options across the country painted a clear picture of just how different library systems look from one state to the next.
I put this report together to show you two things: what's driving the results you see when you search ReciproCard, and how your state stacks up against the rest of the country when it comes to libraries, shared catalogs, and agreements.
Libraries are doing incredible work to get books into people's hands, and I hope this report gives you a sense of just how much they offer.
A note on accuracy and scope. This report reflects my independent research using public library data and the most recent IMLS Public Libraries Survey. Because I'm one person running this project on the side, I'm sure it isn't perfect. If you spot something wrong, please let me know and I'll fix it.
It's also important to note that ReciproCard only tracks agreements that include Libby access. Plenty of libraries have reciprocity for physical books but not Libby, and those aren't counted here. Since library policies, agreements, and catalogs change often, treat this as a helpful starting point and always confirm details directly with the library.
