What does this mean?

Basically it means more access for you! Together these six libraries ensure coordinated access to information and lending collections for the citizens of our District. All lending collections are shared throughout the district. All six libraries participate in the TADL online public catalog as well as the TADL provided public computing and wireless access systems.
