The MSC Partners Resource Sharing Group (Partners) is a consortium of libraries within the Montana Shared Catalog. Each Partner library opens its collections to the cardholders of all Partner libraries. Within the consortium, a Partner library cardholder in one community can reserve and check out items from a neighboring community or from a library several hundred miles away. Cardholders have access to many more materials, and to more diverse collections, than any one library could offer.

A patron whose library participates in a sharing group can place holds on items owned by Partner Libraries.   Using a combination of mail and courier service, the item is delivered to the patron’s home library.  Patrons have easy access to materials from all of the Partner Libraries—essentially tripling the size of the Great Falls Public Library collection.
