Library Cards
Residents of Limestone Township Library Cards
Residents of Limestone Township are entitled to a card from the Library because a part of their real estate tax goes to fund the library. Residents may obtain a card by bringing in a current state-issued photo ID along with a utility bill. All members within the household age 5 and over are able to have a card. Those family members under the age of 18 must have a parent's signature on the enrollment card. The card needs to be renewed every three years.
Non-Residents who are Property Owners In Limestone Township
People who own property in Limestone Township but do not live on that property are eligible to have a library card. Property owners need to bring in a current state-issued photo ID along with a current property bill. The card needs to be renewed on an annual basis.
Non-Resident Cards
At this time non-resident cards can be purchased by people who live in the Herscher School district and are outside of Limestone Township. This includes the towns of Herscher, Irwin, Buckingham, Union Hill, Campus, and Reddick.
The annual cost for a non-resident card is $135 per household which allows all members age 5 and over in the home to have a card. This fee is determined by the state as an average amount paid by taxpayers in Limestone Township for Library Services.
People who live west of 7000 West/Warner Bridge Rd and North of Rt. 17 from 7000 West to the Grundy County Line are in the Fossil Ridge Library District. It is possible for these residents to go to the Fossil Ridge Public Library to obtain a library card.
