VERNAL, Utah (AP) - Uintah County is considering charging nonresidents $30 to use its library beginning in 2010.

Library Director Sam Passey says the library has nearly 23,000 cardholders, and about 2,200 of those are people who live outside the county, including about 60 people in Moffat and Rio Blanco counties in Colorado.

Duchesne County represents the largest number of users outside the county with about 1,900.

Passey says the move would bring in an additional $26,000 if all of the out of county cardholders paid the $30 fee.
