Watertown Regional Library

Policy for Out of County Cards

There shall be two types of cards for people living outside Codington County : a family card and a senior card. All costs for these cards shall be rounded to the nearest whole dollar. The cost of a family card will be based on the per capita cost paid by residents of Watertown . The cost of a senior card will be based on 78% of the cost of a household 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.

The purchase of a family card makes all children in the family eligible for library programs offered for their age group.

A second senior card may be issued at the time of purchase for no additional charge if both husband and wife are 55 years of age or older.
