What are guest cards?
A guest card is an option for individuals who do not live in the eight townships served by the St. Joe County Public Library to utilize library resources.
Fees
Annual fees for guest cards are based on the township in Indiana where the individual lives. Individuals who live outside of the SJCPL service area should obtain a library card from their home library first. If you pay for a guest card and change your mind, you may request a refund within three business days, and a check will be issued to you.
$90 - Non-Resident Guest Card
Individuals who do not live in Indiana or who live in an area that is not served by a home library, such as Madison Township.
