Library Card Fees
Library Card Fees
If you live (or own property) within the boundaries of the Newman Regional Library District, there are no additional fees for a library card. Your property taxes fund the library. If you do not live within the boundaries a non-resident fee would apply. Non-resident fees fund the library for those people who do not pay property taxes in the district.
The non-resident fee is 0.25% of the taxable value of your property as assessed by your local authority if you own or 5% of your monthly rent if you rent. Renters will need to provide a statement from the property owner reflecting the rental fee in addition to other necessary paperwork required for registration.

Illinois state law requires non-residents apply for a library card with the library branch nearest the primary residence.
