Fine Free Policy @ the Barbara Moscato Brown Memorial Library
Barbara Moscato Brown Memorial Library
·
📢 Exciting News! 📢
We're thrilled to announce that our library is testing out a fine-free policy now through November 30, 2025! 📚✨
In an effort to create more equitable access to resources for everyone, we've joined an increasing number of libraries across the country in adopting a fine-free policy.
No more daily fines for late returns!
However, PATRONS WILL STILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH LOST, DAMAGED, OR LONG OVERDUE (MORE THAN 30 DAYS) MATERIALS.
As the American Library Association (ALA) states in its 2019 resolution, “monetary fines create a barrier to the provision of library and information services” and eliminating fines supports equitable access, especially for "low-income individuals, who are most affected by overdue fines.” 💙📖
Come visit us, explore our resources, and enjoy the freedom of borrowing without the worry of late fees. See you at the library!

Lost - Fishing Box
Debbie Pearson
If anyone found my son's clear fishing box down at the Y today can you please return it?
He is absolutely devastated and just went down to get it but it's gone.
There was a guy down there from a camp while he was fishing, he said.
😞 He used his own money to purchase the expensive lures that were in there and fishing is his life!
Contact Debbie via Fb or reach out to me and I can get in touch with Debbie if you know anything about her sons fishing box.
