NEW LAWS FOR LOCAL LIBRARY Beginning July 1, 1996, several Indiana State Laws will go into effect that will change some of the policies of the Walkerton Lincoln Twp. Public Library. The first law touches only those that live in the township that do not have their own libraries. At this time the Walkerton Library charges $20.00 for its non-resident fee card. When the new laws go into effect this price will be raised to $25.00. The new legislature states that a library must charge at least $25.00 or the library’s operating expenditure per capita if that amount is higher. The second law now allows libraries to sell PLAC cards (the state library cards) to any Indiana resident who has a valid library card. No . longer will you have to return to your “home” library to purchase a PLAC card. The cost of the PLAC card is still $20.00 for 1996. If you decide to buy a PLAC card most libraries will still require you to have with you your regular library card from your “home” library. Bring that card with you to other libraries until you receive your PLAC card. For additional information on these changes or if you have any other questions you may call the Walkerton Lincoln Twp. Public Library at 586-2933.
