Good news for our rural Hamilton residents!!
During this quarantine, the Illinois Library Association has agreed to temporarily relax their rules. This means, that if you would like to have a temporary library card in order to access our online books through Axis 360, we can set you up an account free of charge. The only stipulation to this is, that once we return to "normal" your account would be marked as inactive until you come into the library and pay your non-resident fee.
Please feel free to contact the library if you have any questions!
