Beginning January 2, 2010 library cardholders in Floyd, Clark, and Harrison Counties will see an increase in their access to public library services without an increase in cost. The Tri-county borrowing program that debuts in January will allow Floyd, Clark, and Harrison County residents who live in a library district to borrow from any library in the tri-county area using the "home" library card (new cards may be issued from each library). For residents who currently purchase the Public Library Access Card (PLAC) to use other libraries in the tri-county, the cost of library services will actually decrease. The PLAC is still required to check out materials from public libraries outside the tri-county area.

In addition to borrowing materials at any tri-county library location, cardholders will be able to attend programs and utilize many of the services other libraries offer (some restrictions may apply). They will also have the added convenience of being able to use the library closest to them.

There are four library systems in ten locations in the tri-county area. To learn more about the materials, programs and services each library has to offer, visit its Web site:
