The library has waived half of its patron-owed late fines for October.
- So, for example, if you owe the library $10 in late fees, now you only owe $5.
Prince William County Public Libraries spokeswoman Rachel Johnson said that the library started the late-fee forgiveness program last year.
- It wanted to remove barriers that may stop patrons from coming into the library, she said.
- Patrons can pay off their outstanding fines for less so that returned items will go back into the library’s collection and other patrons may enjoy them.
Last year, the forgiveness program saw the waiver of $33,000 overdue fines compared to 2017.
- Many patrons took advantage of the program and zeroed out their overdue balances.
To take advantage of this benefit, go to any branch checkout desk and ask about the program.
- The library accepts all late materials that have not been damaged, lost, or have interlibrary loan fees.
- “We hope patrons that have overdue fines will consider taking advantage of the Fine Forgiveness Program. More than anything, this program is about getting patrons back to the library, even if they have fines that may have discouraged them from coming in,” said Johnson.
