News Release

NORTH WEBSTER — There is good news for part-year residents of the area wishing to use the North Webster Community Public Library. As of July 19, any patrons who live outside of Tippecanoe Township (the library’s tax support district) now have the opportunity to purchase a part-year non-resident library card. Previously, if non-residents wanted to use the library, they were required to purchase a membership that lasted for one full year. Now, three-month memberships are available for purchase. This will be a great benefit to the seasonal community members or anyone, who may only use library services during certain times of the year.

Current pricing for non-resident cards are $95.68 for a full year membership or $24 for a three-month membership. Non-resident library cards offer all the benefits of a resident library card, including access to electronic materials, inter-library loans and the availability to check out any physical library materials such as books, movies and library of things resources.

The following activities are set to take place at North Webster Community Public Library. Attendees do not need to have a library card to participate in any of these events.
