Great River Regional Library Goes Fine-Free for Kids and Expands Read Down Your Fines!

Exciting news from one of our public library members! There are no more overdue fines for children or young adult materials AND the Read Down Your Fines program is now available for all ages!

Read the full announcement here, or check out an excerpt below:

“Yes, you read that correctly! Effective immediately, Great River Regional Library will not collect overdue fines on materials for children and young adults.

  • Overdue children’s and young adult materials (including books, DVDs, CDs and more) will no longer accrue daily late fees.
  • We still want you to bring items back, so overdue notices will still be sent after 10 days as a reminder. Items can be renewed twice … as long as nobody else is waiting.
  • Read Down Your Fines for both children and adults is available any time at your local library!”
