Eau Claire County Library Contract Agreement

Altoona Public Library participates in the Eau Claire County Library Agreement which compensates libraries for use by non-residents. Currently, Altoona residents pay $3.08 “per item” checked out directly from the Eau Claire Public Library
(10 items X $3.08= $30.80). It adds up fast! Please remember, the city is not assessed $3.08 per item if you reserve books, videos, CD’s, DVD’s, and magazines through the MORE system and choose Altoona as the pick-up location. However, if you reserve items online and pick them up at the Eau Claire Library the per-item charge will still apply. Log onto www.more.lib.wi.us. to reserve library materials and choose Altoona as the “pick-up location”. You may also call the library at 839-5029 for assistance in placing a reserve.

Only you can help us save this money that could be used to purchase materials for the Altoona Library.
