Manchester Fees Reduced
NORTH MANCHESTER -
In response to the current economic
situation, the North
Manchester Public Library
Board of Trustees voted, during
its annual review of nonresident
library card fees, to reduce
the cost of a family nonresident
library card to $60.
The change will take place
immediately. The fee for a
nonresident individual library
card remains the same, also
at $60. While anyone can
enjoy reading, attend programs,
or use the public computers
at the library without
having a library card, the
nonresident library cards
allow individuals and families
who reside outside of a library
district to borrow items from
the library.
Student cards also are
available for students of
Manchester Community
Schools who reside outside of
the library district.
