How to get a new library card when you are a Non-Resident
Residents and property owners within the Mount Olive City Limits pay a library tax as part of their property taxes and are entitled to library cards at no additional fee. Patrons living outside of the corporate city limits must pay for a non-resident library card because the library does not receive any property taxes from areas outside the city limits. Patrons who live outside the Mount Olive City Limits, can purchase a yearly cards for $30 per household.
The non-resident fee will be waived if:
Upon proving that you either own property within the city limits and pay library taxes on your yearly county real estates or if you own and operate a business within the city limits.
