For children 1st grade – 17 years of age a parent or guardian must be present to acknowledge responsibility for items borrowed.
Property owners that live beyond the City Limits of Pana but owning property within the City limits may, upon presentation of a current tax bill bearing the property owner’s name, receive a non-resident card valid for 1 year from the registration date.
Non-residents who live outside Pana city limits, are served by our local school district, and are not in another library’s residency may purchase a library card. The current yearly fee is based on the yearly taxes paid by residents within city limits. The non-resident card is valid for 1 year from the registration date.
The non-resident fee shall not apply to veterans’ and surviving spouses who provide documentation that they are exempt from paying property taxes on their primary residence in compliance with the Disabled Veterans’ Standard Homestead Exemption.
Cards for Kids if a student resides in a nearby area not served by any library, and they are eligible for free and reduced lunch at school, they are eligible for a free library card while they are in school, provided Carnegie-Schuyler Library is the closest public library to their residence or if Pana is where the child would attend school. A parent or guardian must attest that their student qualifies for this program at the time of registration. To qualify for the Cards for Kids program, the student’s household must meet the Income Eligibility Guidelines outlined by the Food and Nutrition Service, USDA, for Child Nutrition Programs. This card may only be used by the student and no other members of the household. A parent or guardian must be present to acknowledge responsibility for items borrowed by the student.
All family members and residents sharing the same address will have their cards associated. If any cards are blocked within that association with fines in excess of $5, no other cards may be used until the charges are taken care of.
Valid cards from Carnegie Schuyler Library that have no blocks may be used at any other library that is a member of Illinois Heartland Library System.
