In addition, several other library card changes will also go into effect on Tuesday. All Pennsylvania residents will now be able to obtain a library card free of charge, and the fee for an out-of-state card will increase from $35 to $50. Also, veterans, members of the military, and senior citizens who do not otherwise qualify for a free card will no longer be eligible for one.

That stinks. I'm not in any of those affected groups, but it's pretty drastic to ask those people to go from paying nothing to paying $50--seems like if they really need to charge them, they should at least give them a discount.
