			 The public library board of trustees shall annually take action to decide

			 library in the school district in which the non-resident resides, the

Illinois Administrative Code › Title 23 - EDUCATION AND CULTURAL RESOURCES › Part 3050 - PUBLIC LIBRARY NON-RESIDENT SERVICES › Section 3050.60 - Non-Resident Fee Formula

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
A public library can use three options to determine its
non-resident fee according to the formula established by the Illinois
				State Library
[75 ILCS
				5/4-7(12) and
				16/30-55.60]. In subsections
				(a) and (b), the non-resident fee shall be equitable and proportionate to the
				fee paid by residents.
a) General
			 Mathematical Formula
1) To determine the
			 minimum non-resident fee, a local library should divide the library income from
			 public property tax sources or its equivalent by the local population to
			 determine the cost of service per capita. In the case of endowed libraries that
			 receive no income from local tax sources of any kind and meet the requirements
			 for library system membership, the endowed library may determine the minimum
			 non-resident fee by dividing the amount of income it receives from non-tax
			 sources that is required to qualify for per capita grants provided in Section
			 8.1 of the Illinois
			 Library System Act by the local population to determine the cost of service per
			 capita. All public libraries should then multiply the per capita figure by the
			 average number of persons per household in the community to obtain the average
			 cost per household on which to base a fee for a family card. The most recent
			 federal census information available shall be used in determining population
			 and household size.
2) Library
			 income from local property tax sources excludes State and federal
			 funds.

			 stockholder, or other joint owner, owns or leases
property
			 that is taxed for library service or is a senior administrative officer of a
			 firm, business, or other corporation owning taxable property within
			 the
district,
upon presentation of the most recent tax bill on
			 that taxable property
. [
			 75 ILCS
			 5/4-7(12) and 75 ILCS
			 16/30-55.60(3)]
b) The library card
			 shall accord the non-resident property owner or non-resident leasee cardholder

			 determination by the public library board of trustees to issue non-resident
			 cards for the ensuing 12 months, the non-resident fee shall not be charged to
			 students whose principal residence is not within a public library service area
			 and whose household income makes them eligible to receive free or reduced price
			 meals under the National School Lunch Program and the National School Breakfast
			 Program, as determined by Income Eligibility Guidelines established by the U.S.
			 Department of Agriculture (USDA).

			 qualifying student must present to the public library documentation from the
			 school or school district that indicates the student's eligibility for free or
			 reduced price meals.

			 library shall determine the applicability of the non-resident fee waiver to all
			 students whose principal residences are not within the public library service
			 area and whose school or school district operates under the Community Eligible
			 Provision (CEP) of the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs.
			 When the public library determines the non-resident fee waiver does not apply
			 to all students attending a school or school district that operates under CEP,
			 the public library shall create a certification document that at a minimum
			 includes current household size, current annualized income of that household,
			 and is signed by an adult representative of the student applicant's household.
			 The public library shall review the certification document and waive the
			 non-resident fee for applicants whose documents indicate that they are eligible
			 for free or reduced-price meals.
d)
			 For homeschool students, the public library shall create a certification
			 document that at a minimum includes current household size and current
			 annualized household income and is signed by an adult representative of the

			 for a non-resident card at a participating public library as stipulated in
