Out of county Card Policy

There shall be two types of cards for people living outside of Codington County, family cards and senior cards.  All costs for these cards shall be rounded to the nearest whole dollar.  The cost of a one year family card will be determined by the Library Board of Trustees.  The cost of a one year senior card will be based on 78% of the cost of a one year family card.


For the purpose of determining who shall be eligible for what type of card the library will use the following definitions:

  • A senior is defined as any person 55 years or older.
  • A family is defined as head of household and all dependents living at home for whom a federal tax deduction may be claimed.


Cards may be purchased for three months, six months, one year, or multiple years. Three month cards will cost one quarter of the cost of a one year card plus two dollars. A six month card will cost one half of the cost of a one year card plus one dollar.  Multi-year cards will be sold at the one year card’s current rate at the time of the sale multiplied by the number of years being purchased.  No refunds will be given for purchased cards.
