No more overdue fines being charged
As of July 1, there are no more overdue fines being charged. All members have had their fines removed and a clean slate has been granted to everyone. I would prefer you return the stock than take your money. Instead there will be a charge for processing any lost or damaged items on top of the replacement cost of the item.
Changes to overdue notices
Next time that you visit the library why not provide your email address to receive a kind reminder that your items are due back in a few days, an email will be provided to update you on your reservations and if you are unable to return your items you will receive an overdue notice. But for those who do not provide an email address for overdue notices will be charged for any manual overdue notices issued.
Internet access
Also, from July 1 for Library members only internet access is free when you produce your membership card. For all other users, the charges still stand.
Reminder that Phase 2 of the library reopening has begun with more hours being added and a single public computer being available for quick printouts only.
For computer access this is for a quick print out only. No sitting watching videos, scrolling through social media or any researching. Single person only at the computer and you will be required to clean the surface down upon completion.
Please read carefully as there are changes to hours and services provided. The Library will proceed to the next phase if no issues occur in the previous phase.
