Ach!  Small world!  I was born in Niles and still have family in that area.  I have 
heard of things like this though, just this past spring my local library (which is a 
fantastic and beautiful library) proposed charging for cards for people who do not 
live in my county.  It had to do with funding and the fact that this library cost 
taxpayers loads of money to build and maintain, but people who were not paying those 
taxes were reaping many of the benefits.  I can see where they are coming from... but 
all booklovers know how great the library is because it's free and chock full of 
books.  My library decided against this plan for now, but I'm sure it will be 
revisited.

I live in Niles, MI. The library is in South Bend Indiana. St. Joe county, to be 
exact. Well....even though I live a mile from the county, I am not a resident. I 
looked up getting a library card on the net about a year ago. They said it would be 
120 dollars for a library card. I live out of county and out of the state. However, I 
have decided that I am going to look into this. Because I work in St. Joe county and 
pay local taxes....I feel like I should be able to get a library card there. Also I 
really want to become a Friend of the Library and want to volunteer at their sales. It 
sounds like fun. And they looked like they needed some young blood. I think that I am 
going to look into this some more....
