Library Fines Forgiven

Got an overdue library book? From Sunday, Aug. 22 through Monday, Sept. 6, you can return overdue Athens Regional Library System materials to any branch and have your overdue fines forgiven.

"Our goal is to cut the number of overdue library books in half," explained Athens Regional Library System Director Kathryn Ames. "We need those books back on the shelves for other people to enjoy, especially because our materials budget has been cut so severely this year."

The fine forgiveness does not include lost book fees, processing fees, damaged fees, lost card fees or collection agency referral fees. Materials returned in book drops are eligible for fine forgiveness.

The library is closed on Monday, September 6, but items in turned in via the book and media drops on Monday, Sept. 6 and still be covered by the overdue fine forgiveness.

For more information, contact your local Athens Regional Library System branch or log on to: http://www.clarke.public.lib.ga.us
