With tax bills fresh from the mailbox, it’s a good time to clarify this about your library: If a library is listed on your tax bill, that amount is what you pay for your whole household to use the library’s services for a year. (A bargain, right?) If no library is listed, and you want to use the library, you still can! A card is only $65/year for all the services for the entire household.
