Fine Free Fridays

The Palos Verdes Library District is offering all patrons with overdue fines a Get Out of Jail Free card.

Not literally – of course, but during the month of January 2012 patrons who visit a library service desk on Fine Free Fridays can return overdue books or request their overdue fines to be waived.

The amnesty program will include all books returned in person (no phone privileges) to any of the three Palos Verdes Libraries and will also extend to overdue and expired hold fees with a maximum of $50 per library card. PVLD Director Kathy Gould states, “We want to give our patrons a fresh start and believe this is the quickest and most efficient way to encourage those with overdue fines to come back to the library.” This type of program has been hugely successful in many major cities including New York and San Francisco and promotes goodwill within the community.

Certain fees are excluded such as video/audio rental fees and replacement fees for lost items.
