Members share costs for the automation system and delivery to and from Iowa, allowing the Quad Cities to maintain its unique custom of sharing materials across state lines. Illinois libraries receive additional delivery support through RAILS. In July, 2016, the Illinois libraries re-joined the library system in Illinois. RiverShare Libraries now consists of over 17 area library locations that RiverShare patrons can use to locate and borrow materials.
