Satellite Collections are a special organizational loaning arrangement at Howard County Library System (HCLS). Any organization in Howard County that serves seniors, children, or individuals with special needs may apply for a Satellite Collection (family child care homes and group homes are not eligible).
Satellite Collections are designed to make library materials more easily accessible to your organization by:
- Providing your organization with a library card
- Providing an extended loan period for HCLS materials checked out on the organization library card
- Providing an increased number of HCLS items available for checkout
- Providing an assigned HCLS staff member to work with your organization to provide: enhanced communication, a rotating assortment of HCLS materials for checkout, pre-selection of materials, and updates on HCLS events.
