We want to see you again at the library!

If your fines are holding you back, come in and “read down your fines” this summer! Check in at the desk both as you come and go to tell the circulation staff you would like to participate in Read Down Your Fines. The staff will waive $1 of fines for every 15 minutes you read. Patrons of all ages can participate. You must read in the library… find a cool spot and read away your fines!

This offer does not apply to lost materials or collection fees and cannot be used to build up a credit against future fines. Up to a maximum of $15 will be waived per library card.

This is a special event in conjunction with LIBRARIES ROCK and is only being offered June 16 – July 28.
