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.
