(75 ILCS 16/30-55.60)
    Sec. 30-55.60. Use of library by nonresidents. The board may extend the privileges and use of the library, including the borrowing of materials on an individual basis by persons residing outside the district. If the board exercises this power, the privilege of library use shall be upon terms and conditions prescribed by the board in its regulations. The board shall charge a nonresident fee for the privileges and use of the library at least equal to the cost paid by residents of the district, with the cost to be determined according to the formula established by the Illinois State Library. A person residing outside of a public library service area must apply for a non-resident library card at the public library closest to the person's principal residence. The nonresident cards shall allow for borrowing privileges at all participating public libraries in the regional library system. The nonresident fee shall not apply to any of the following:
        (1) Privileges and use provided (i) under the terms
    
of the district's membership in a library system operating under the provisions of the Illinois Library System Act or (ii) under the terms of any reciprocal agreement with a public or private corporation or entity providing a library service.
        (2) Residents of an area in which the library is
    
conducting a program for the purpose of encouraging the inclusion of the area in the library district.
        (3) A nonresident who, as an individual or as a
    
partner, principal stockholder, or other joint owner, owns taxable property or is a senior administrative officer of a firm, business, or other corporation owning taxable property within the district, upon presentation of the most recent tax bill upon that taxable property, provided that the privileges and use of the library is extended to only one such nonresident for each parcel of taxable property.
    Nothing in this Section requires any public library to participate in the non-resident card reciprocal borrowing program of a regional library system as provided for in this Section.
