*Each year, the Illinois State Library asks trustees of public libraries to determine whether or not their libraries will sell non-resident cards and, if so, what fees will be charged. on 6/14/2024 the Shawneetown Public Library voted that Non-Resident Library Cards will be $15.00. This will be re-evaluated in May of 2025. Kids (K-12) in Gallatin School District are eligible for a FREE library card. Stop in or call for more information
