Northern Illinois | I am going to attempt to search state law but if anyone knows it would save me some time. In Illinois library districts are taxed at the township level. There is not a public library in our township so we pay no library taxes. When I was a child (50 years ago) my mother took us to a public library in another township and that was allowed because we did not have a library. The library she took us to was in the town that has the post office that relates to our mailing address which is out of our township. I do not know if our address had anything to do with where we went or if it was just the town that my mother visited most often. My wife likes to read and today went to a neighboring town and asked if she could purchase an out of district library card the lady acted like my wife was from another planet. We no longer visit the town that is our mailing address so my wife does not want to attempt to go to that library.
My question is can someone who does not live in a library district purchase a library card from another taxing district? Is the person who wishes to purchase a library card limited to which library taxing districts they can go to and purchase an out of district library card? | |
