Non-Resident Card Information for LCLS members -

In Illinois, people living outside the service area of a public library are considered non-residents. Non-residents are eligible to purchase a library card from the public library under certain conditions. The sale of a library card to a non-resident is covered by the Illinois Statutes, 75 ILDS 5/4-7(12) and 75 ILDS 16/30-55.60 specifically. In early 2002, the Statute was changed to include reciprocal borrowing and to indicate where the non-resident was to purchase the card. To see the complete statute, visit http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/ilcs/ilcs.asp going to Chapter 75, Libraries.
