Registration Policy for Resident & Non-Resident Patrons

Resident Patron Registration Policy

Library cards will be issued at no cost to any resident living within the city limits of Fulton, IL. At the time of registration the patron will be asked for a valid photo ID (Driver’s License, Non-driver’s ID, passport or military ID). If the address on the ID differs from the current residence, the patron is asked to supply verification of their current address, by one of the following methods:
·       A piece of mail addressed to the patron at their current residence.
·       A current lease or contract.
·       Car registration.
Patrons living outside the Fulton city limits, but within the River Bend Community School District are eligible for one Non-resident card per family for a fee in accordance with Illinois state statute and the library’s Illinois Non-resident Card Policy (see current policy for details and current fee).
Registration for patrons under 14 years of age requires parental/guardian signature (parent or legal guardian of the child must be present at the time of registration).
Duplicate cards are issued at a cost of $1 for a first replacement, $2 for a second replacement, etc. with the cost increasing by $1 for each successive replacement card to all patrons in good standing (no overdue materials/outstanding fees exceeding $3.00).
