Grand Prizes were a beautiful handmade quilt donated by Barbara Patton, an original new Kindle, and two $25 Amazon gift cards, generously supported by the Ocean Shores Friends of the Library.

| Non-Resident Library Card Fees |
|
Adopted November 15, 2012
Citizens living (or owning property) within the Ocean Shores City limits pay $.0247 per $1,000 assessed value. A $200,000 home would be $49.40 per year.
To insure that non tax payers residing outside of the Ocean Shores city limits bear the same cost as those tax payers in the City, a Non-Resident fee of $45.00 annually was approved by the Ocean Shores Public Library Board of Trustees on January 18, 2012.
For Non-Resident North Beach School District Students (ASB card or Home School Cre-dentials required, ages 5 – 18), an individual $5.00 annual fee was approved.
For Non-Residents, temporarily visiting Ocean Shores, a three month Individual or Family fee of $15.00 was approved.
Tax payers that live outside of Ocean Shores may see a library charge on their property tax statement, this supports the library in that region. For example, North Beach residents see a library charge that supports the Timberland Library System and their closest regional library is located in Hoquiam.
Comments regarding this policy can be directed to the Ocean Shores Public Library Board of Trustees. The Library Board of Trustees meetings are on the third Thursday of each month at 2 PM in the library meeting room. The meetings are open to the public.
