9.B. ACTION ITEM: Non-Resident Library Card Program Participation
Description:
The Library Board is required by Illinois law to decide annually whether the Library will participate in the state's nonresident library card program, and to inform RAILS about the board's action within 30 days. Nothing in the statute or administrative rules requires a public library to participate in the program or to issue nonresident cards.
It is APL's current policy to participate in the program, using the "tax bill method" to calculate the fee for nonresident cards.
Recommended Motion(s):
"I move that the Library continue participating in the Illinois Public Library Nonresident Library Card program, using the tax bill method to determine the cost of cards for nonresidents."
