The Indiana State Library establishes our per capita cost at $90, which determines the cost of the guest card. A discount is available for individuals who have a library card from their library in Indiana counties outside St. Joseph, and that rate is $70 annually. We provide a further discount for cardholders with which we have a reciprocal agreement with their library, and that rate is $50 annually.
