Lanark Public Library

Because the Library is funded with city property tax dollars and the support of the Lanark City Council, residents may have a free family library card if they live within the city limits of Lanark or if they pay real estate taxes on city property. Identification bearing an individual’s current name and address is required. People who do not live within the Lanark city limits, do not own property in the City of Lanark, or do not have a card from another public library in Illinois may purchase a yearly family card from the Lanark Public Library. System wide cards are also available for non-residents to purchase for use at any library that is a member of the Reaching Across Illinois Library System. A non-resident card can be purchased for $65 a year per family.
