Taylor Public Library charges $10.00 a year for individuals and $25.00 for a family if you live outside of the official city limits. But there are exceptions: all students who go to school in Taylor get a free card (City of Taylor and Taylor ISD have an interagency agreement). All Temple College at Taylor students get a free card for the semester (Taylor Library and Temple College have an interagency agreement). Last year we had 978 out-of-city students get free library cards. Library services cost the citizens of Taylor about $22 a year for every individual. We have a lot of rural folks out here in East Williamson County who purposely live outside of city limits because they don't want to pay taxes. So, there is some validity to charging for library service. How many people really are paying for library cards in Taylor? Last year, 280 people. That's really not a lot of revenue. In total, we have over 7,000 library card holders, so the percentage of paying patrons is not that high.

Does your Library have fees for non residents? If you do, why? Also if anyone wants to add their opinion please do. Thanks Kim Adele Kroll Director Lena Armstrong Public Library (254) 933-5832 P.O.
