Cards
for Kids Non-Resident Library Cards Available at Limestone Township
Library District
Perhaps
you haven’t heard the news with day-to-day life being so busy. But children
aged 5-17 who live outside of Limestone Township and within the Herscher School
District (C.U.S.D.#2) may qualify for a free Cards for Kids non-resident card
from the Limestone Township Library District (LTLD). Cards for Kids
Non-Resident library cards offer the same privileges, services, and resources
as those for Limestone Township residents. This will allow students the ability
to check out materials for school work and entertainment purposes who would not
otherwise have that opportunity.
These
free cards are for the child’s use only. Parents who want library privileges
would need to purchase a Non-Resident Card at the fiscal year 2023-2024 cost of
$142 per year for their library use. This fee can be split into two payments of
$71. The non-resident fee reflects the average amount of annual taxes paid
towards the library by residents of Limestone Township.
To
sign-up for the Cards for Kids program, parents/guardians need to bring in a
photo I.D. (driver’s license, state identification, or passport) and proof of
residency (voter’s registration card, utility bill or real estate tax bill.)
The student will need to bring their school ID or other proof of school
attendance.
We encourage households
with more than one child to register for their cards together on the same day,
so each account will have the same start date and expiration date.
If you need more information, call
us at 815-939-1696.
