Why are nonresident card fees increasing?
All library operating expenses, including supplies, utilities, salaries, and digital and physical materials, are funded entirely through sales tax revenue generated by purchases made at businesses within Liberty Hill ISD boundaries. The library receives 0.25 percent, or one quarter of on per dollar spent.
In Texas, the sales tax rate is capped at 8.25 percent. The State of Texas receives 6.25 percent, and up to 2 percent remains for local entities. From that local portion, the library receives one-quarter of one cent. For example, on a 25 dollar purchase, 2.06 dollars in sales tax is collected, and the library receives 6.25 cents.
Nonresident card fees help offset the cost of serving a growing service area and rising operating expenses and remain comparable to fees charged by nearby public libraries.
Lost or Expired Cards:
Don’t panic! Cards expire yearly and can be renewed at no charge for those living within the District and for the annual fee for those living outside the District boundaries. You can renew by calling the library, stopping in for a visit, or by logging in to your account online (before your expiration date). The replacement fee for lost cards is $ 2.
