Any person, who does not qualify for a Pioneer Library System card or a Reciprocal Card, but wishes access to library collections from a branch of the Pioneer Library System, may apply for a non-resident library card.

Verification of current address is required. If the borrower does not have identification showing current address, the library card will be mailed to the borrower's address.

Non-resident fees are set by the Pioneer Library System Board of Trustees. Residents of contiguous counties will pay a basic non-resident fee. Persons outside our contiguous counties will pay a higher fee.

Payment of the fee entitles the applicant's immediate family to full library service for twelve months. Only one card is issued per family. The fee is paid in lieu of the property taxes paid by the residents of Cleveland, McClain, and Pottawatomie counties for library service.

Contiguous Counties Non-Resident Fee Card: $60.00 (Contiguous counties include: Canadian, Lincoln, Okfuskee, Seminole, Pontotoc, Garvin, and Grady.)

Non-contiguous Counties Non-Resident Fee Card: $70.00

Out-of-State Non-Resident Fee Card: $80.00
