Abilene Library Consortium consists of Abilene Christian University Library, Abilene Public Library, Hardin-Simmons University Library, McMurry University Library, and Howard Payne University Library. The Consortium also provides a framework for co-operation between these participating libraries, allowing for the sharing of materials, resources, and expertise.

The ALC Bibliographic Database contains over 1.1 million items. Through co-operative borrowing agreements, patrons from any ALC library may check out materials from any other ALC library with much the same privileges as that library's own borrowers.
