Paid Non-Resident Library Cards

Borrowers who do not reside within the city limits of Urbana (Cunningham Township) are required to pay a tax substitute fee to obtain a library card. The fee covers service to all members of a household living at the same address, and a separate card is issued to each household member.

Non-resident tax substitute fees are determined by calculating the library tax the borrower's property would be assessed if it were annexed to the City of Urbana, and rounding up to the next $5.00 increment. If you reside ouside the city limits of Urbana, call the Circulation Department at 367-4057 for more information on fees and how to apply for a non-resident library card.

In accordance with Illinois State Law, that requires non-resident library cards be purchased at the nearest public library, The Urbana Free Library offers non-resident cards to all addresses within Urbana School District #116.

Paid non-resident library cards are issued for one year and may be paid annually or in three, four month installments.
