Getting a Library Card

People living in areas untaxed for library services may obtain a card by paying a fee determined by multiplying the current library tax rate times the equalized assessed valuation on the applicant’s tax bill. Cards will be issued for one year to all members of the homeowner’s immediate family living at that address.
