Library Fees
The American Fork Library Board and City Council have approved an increase in the non-resident card fees for non-residents using the American Fork Library. This change will take effect on Tuesday, September 5, 2006. The annual card fee will then be $70.00; the quarterly card fee will be $19.00 and the semi-annual card fee will be $36.00.

This change was made to bring the non-resident fee more line with the amount paid by American Fork residents to the Library through their property taxes. This will also be a step toward a cooperative borrowing system between the north Utah County libraries of Pleasant Grove, Lehi, Eagle Mountain and American Fork by making the non-resident fees at each library consistent.

Also, as of September 5, 2006, the overdue fine on media items such as DVDs, videos, books on tape, books on CD, music CDs, and children’s audio kits, will be $.50 per day up to a maximum of $3.00.

These photographs depicting early American Fork were donated by Joe and Charlotte Hartle. They formerly hung in the Hartle’s business on Main Street, called Lake City Loans.
