Board Discussion: Alice asked for clarification on non-resident cards. According to Administrative Code, non-residents apply at the library in the high school district in which the non-resident has his or her principal residence. When more than one public library serves a high school district – such as our D155 is served by Crystal Lake Public Library (CLPL), Cary Area Public Library District, and Fox River Grove Memorial Library – then the libraries must reach an agreement on how to divide the unserved areas. For CLPL this relates to the unserved area between Cary and Crystal Lake. Residents south of Route 176 and east of Route 31 go to Cary. All other go to CLPL.

Adjournment:

It was moved by Don Peters and seconded by William Weller to adjourn.

Voice Vote: Aye- 9; Nay- 0; Absent- 0; Abstain- 0; Motion Passed.

Time: 8:20 pm
