How to get a Library Card
There are five categories of membership at the Flora-Monroe Public Library
Resident-- People who live in Flora and Monroe Township pay property taxes to support the library and are eligible for a free card. They have access to any library in the Evergreen Indiana consortium, and any non-Evergreen library participating in reciprocal borrowing.
Contract--The library contracts with Democrat Township to provide services to any resident who wants to use the library. The resident pays $15.00 for an Individual card. The township trustee pays the balance of the fee, $67. The trustee also pays the $15 Student Card fee for students in the Carroll Consolidated School District, including home-schooled students. Individual card holders have access to the Evergreen Indiana consortium. Student Card holders only have access to the Flora Library.
Non-Resident-- People who live in townships that do not pay property tax to a library or do not have a contract agreement, must pay an annual fee: $82 for an Individual Card. The Washington Township Trustee will reimburse up to 1/2 of the fee. The Carrollton Township Trustee will reimburse 100% of fee. Non-resident patrons have access to the Evergreen Indiana consortium.
Reciprocal-- People who live in a non-Evergreen library district that participates in reciprocal borrowing, and are patrons in good standing, will be issued a Reciprocal Card for use at the Flora Library.
PLAC--Non-Resident patrons may purchase a Public Library Access Card (PLAC) for an annual fee of $65. They must first establish a home library by paying a non-resident fee. The PLAC card can be used at any library in Indiana.
Student--Non-resident Carroll Consolidated students, and Non-resident home-schooled or private school students living in the Carroll School District may purchase a Student Card for an annual fee of $15.
Special or Temporary-- The library issues cards to teachers at Carroll Consolidated Schools living in unserved townships for materials used in the classroom. Children in unserved townships are issued free temporary cards for the summer reading program.
