Library to charge nonresidents

GRAND ISLAND, Neb. -- The Grand Island Public Library board has given unanimous approval to implementing a $40 annual fee for households outside of Grand Island that uses the city library -- unless the Hall County board resumes payment by May 1.

"It's less than $3.50 a month for a household to have unlimited access," said library board member Mike Kneale. "That's a pretty good bargain."

The fee, to begin May 1, will apply only to those people in the household who want to check-out library material or log onto library computers. Simply entering and reading material at the library will remain free.
