The Monticello-Union Township Public Library is pleased to announce that we have received a $1,000 grant from the Community Foundation of White County to assist with easing access for Lincoln Township residents to have a library card.

In Indiana, non-resident library cards are available for a fee to individuals living in townships outside of any library taxing district. These cards allow non-residents the same access to services that resident card holders have by paying an amount at least equal to what the average resident pays within a library's taxing district. Contracts are often set up with some townships to cover all or a portion of the fee. Currently, there is no existing contract between Lincoln Township and a public library in White County, so residents of Lincoln must pay full non-resident card fees to White County Libraries. Non-resident cards are good for one year. The 2025 non-resident library card fee at Monticello-Union Township Public Library is $80. The grant will cover $35 of the fee and the individual will pay $45. This opportunity will be available until the grant funds are depleted.

The Monticello-Union Township Public Library is excited to announce our plans to move back to our original location. In order to start this process, we will cut back operating hours and limit services November 17th - 26th. Patrons will be able to print, copy, fax, use the computer, pick up holds, and checkout available materials. Please forgive us for the inconvenience as we will be packing materials during this time.

Our hours of operation for November 17th - 26th will be Monday, Wednesday, Friday 9 am - 1 pm and Tuesday and Thursday 2 pm - 7 pm. Closed Saturday and Sunday. We will be closed for the Thanksgiving holiday November 27th, 28th, and 29th.

The library will officially close on December 1st to start moving materials to the original site. Due dates will be extended to January 10th. Our digital catalogues through Libby, Hoopla, and Kanopy will continue to be available during the closure.

We have a tentative date scheduled for opening in January with a special grand opening planned and will be announced later. The library staff and board are very appreciative of the support and understanding from our community. We look forward to serving you in 2026.
