NR 2.0 Local-Use Non-Resident Cards

2.1   Each Participating Library may make available to non-residents, per its own local policy, a card restricted to use only at that library.

2.2   Each Participating Library may set its own fee for this local-use non-resident card, with the proceeds from such fee being retained by that library.

2.3   Each non-resident registered for a local-use card shall be restricted from placing holds within the shared online system.  (Staff at the registering library may place item-specific holds only on their own material for local-use card holders.)

2.4   Non-residents may obtain local-use cards at as many participating libraries as they wish, paying applicable fees at each library.  Each non-resident, however, shall have only a single patron record in the shared online system.  Libraries at which the non-resident has borrowing privileges will be noted on the back of the patron’s card.

2.5   Responsibility for materials borrowed using a local-use non-resident card rests with the library at which the materials are checked out.

2.6   Each local-use non-resident card will expire on September 30 of the year it is issued.  Participating libraries will decide whether or not to pro-rate any fees collected for cards issued throughout the year.
