Hello how may I help you? Is this the Utica library? Yes you have contacted the Utica library chat. How can I help? Can I apply for a membership? Certainly. I must ask if you reside in Utica first No I live in Syracuse Alright. For non-Utica residents we require a $75 monthly fee for membership. Hope this helps Per month? Correct. The dues are paid monthly on the 1st. That is a bit too much for me. Thanks anyway. I'm sorry, hope you understand why we need to charge this fee to those who aren't from our area.
