Cost of NM Library cards for non-residents to increase March 1

Per state standards, the cost of a nonresident library card at the North Manchester Public Library will increase beginning March 1st, 2023.

Current Fees for Non-resident Cards

(beginning March 1st, 2023):

One Year Library Card — $102.

Six Month Library Card - $51.

Three Month Library Card - $25.50.

As a public library in the State of Indiana, NMPL receives funding through property taxes paid within the North Manchester city limits. Those who live or own property inside the taxing district pay for a library card whether they ever register for one or not. However, with non-resident cards, the choice to purchase a library card is in the patron’s hands. Non-resident fees are dictated by the State, reviewed annually by the library board, and are kept as low as possible.

“We understand if $102 for a library card seems expensive,” says Diane Randall, Library Director. “But remember that a library card provides so much educational, entertainment, and leisure value through access to the tens of thousands of items in our collection that includes books, magazines, microfilms, large print books, newspapers, materials of local and historical interest, audiobooks, music, DVDs, databases, and more.”

PACT Ace expands service for vets

The recently passed PACT Act from August of 2022 expands and extends eligibility for VA health care for Veterans with toxic exposures and Veterans of the Vietnam, Gulf War, and post-9/11 eras.

The measure adds more than 20 presumptive condition for burn pits, Agent Orange, and other toxic exposures. Additionally, it adds more presumptiveexposure locations for Agent Orange and radiation. An example would be the addition of any U.S. or Royal Thailand Air base now carries Agent Orange presumption.

If the veteran has passed on, there is still potential for a claim of Dependency Indemnity Compensation for the surviving spouse. Veterans or their surviving spouse can view the comprehensive lists of presumptive condition of Agent Orange, Gulf War, post-9/11 era, and radiation areas on va.gov.

Simply search “PACT Act” and review service areas and qualifying conditions. Veterans may also visit the Wabash County Veteran Service Officer (CVSO) Sam Daugherty on Monday-Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the historic courthouse for advisement and a printed list of their specific service area. When seeking advisement or wanting to file a claim, veterans should set an appointment with the CVSO so that proper time is allocated for their needs.
