Non-resident cards: Patrons living in an area not in a library district (e.g., West Peoria) may purchase a non-resident card. The fee for a non-resident card is $100.00 per household per year. Non-resident cards are good for one year. Identification and proof of address must be provided in accordance with the above rules.
