Non-Resident Card for Boise Public Library:
Non-resident senior citizens over the age of 62 may purchase a Non-Resident Card for an annual fee of $17.33; if you are a non-resident under the age of 62, the annual fee is $69.30.
The Non-Resident Card has the same privileges as a Borrower’s Card and the annual payment of the non-resident fee by one individual in a household allows all other persons in that household to obtain a Non-Resident Card without the payment of an additional fee.
All books, including the new & popular ones, can be checked out for 4 weeks. Most books and materials can be renewed, and fees are no longer collected for overdue books.
