- Residents of Washington State and Clatsop County in Oregon, not in the TRL Service Area and not covered by a reciprocal agreement or cooperative service area, may purchase a Non-Resident card.
- The cost of the card is determined by the average cost each household in the Timberland district pays in property taxes for library services and is re-calculated annually.
- You may pay the non-resident fee by cash or check, or staff can bill your account and you can pay online.
Washington State residents who live outside of the TRL service area and have a library card with another public library system may be eligible for a TRL card (see: Reciprocal and Cooperative cards).
