<p>[QUOTE="Kasia, post: 1554168, member: 31533"]Well, looks like Detecto is telling the truth, in a way. Basically he's naming a figure that probably is the amount of library tax his parents would pay on the home if the home was in the city. Then the entire family could use the library (have a card) if they paid that to the library. Sort of like this is for the community and a line has been drawn as to who belongs where. Since he's not w/in the city limits, he's excluded, based on him living with his parents and ***not renting***. Because, from what I can see, if he wanted to use the library for an annual fee, all he has to do is present his rental receipt and then it's a straight 15% of the monthly rent. So if he paid 500.00 a month (hey, I know I'm being unrealistic, he has no job) he would have to pay 75.00 for use of the library.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, yes, the closest major town's library charges out the you know what for their services (loaning books, using their computers, blah, blah, blah). Quite a bit more expensive than I thought it should be, but they're into excluding non-residents unless you pay. My local library 6 years ago, before I officially became a resident, wanted to charge me 30.00 for the privelege of having a library card. I simply used my dad's info to get him a card, and then used that. </p><p><br /></p><p>So....long story short, Detecto is better off either moving to town and finding a job/rental he can walk to work with, or foresaking the library and coughing up maybe 10 or 12 bucks and getting a redbook.

Or go do a sob story to his coin club and see if anyone wants to give him one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
