Kendallville/Limberlost Public Library Cards
Any resident or property owner from Noble County is eligible to receive a Kendallville/Limberlost Public Library card.
Applicants for library cards must fill out a brief questionnaire declaring their local residency while non-resident property owners will need to show a property tax receipt. All applicants must show a photo ID. If the photo ID does not have his/her correct current address, then the applicant will need to show two additional forms of ID with the correct address (a utility bill, phone bill, etc.)
Individuals under 18 will register for a juvenile card and will need a parent or guardian's signature prior to checking out any materials. If the parent would like the juvenile to have video check-out privileges, the parent needs to sign the appropriate portion of the application in front of a library staff member.
A $.50 fee is charged to replace lost or stolen cards.
Reciprocal Borrowing Agreements
The Kendallville Public Library system has special loan agreements with the following libraries: Butler Public Library, Garrett Public Library, LaGrange County Library, Ligonier Public Library and the Noble County Public Library.
Through this agreement, cardholders from these libraries may borrow materials from KPL and LPL without purchasing a Public Library Access Card. However, cardholders from these libraries do need to apply for a Kendallville/Limberlost Public Library card. Library patrons from Butler, Garrett and the LaGrange County Public Library need to show a current library card from their home library. KPL and LPL patrons may likewise use these libraries' services without purchasing a PLAC (below) card.
Non-residents living in an unserved library area may purchase a subscription card in order to check out materials from the KPL system. The current fee for a subscription card is $75.00 for an individual or $188.00 for a family. This card must be re-purchased each year.
Non-residents who have a valid resident library card from any Indiana public library and a Public Library Access Card (PLAC) may borrow most materials from KPL and LPL.
Patrons who desire to use the services of other Indiana public libraries other than those listed in the Reciprocal Borrowing Agreement (above) may purchase a PLAC card at KPL or LPL for a current price of $30.00 (determined by the Indiana State Legislature). The PLAC card may be purchased at any Indiana public library if the individual has a valid library card from their home library.
The Business Card is available for companies within the Kendallville Public Library taxing district. This card is to be used by authorized persons within the company for business purposes only. The card must be renewed every three years.
