Local Library Forgives All Outstanding Fines

 Monday, December 28, 2020 In an effort to provide as much community support as possible during these challenging times, and as a bleated Christmas gift to all their patrons, the Barbara Moscato Brown Memorial Library Board has decided to forgive all outstanding patron fines and fees as of January 1, 2021.

 Anyone who has outstanding fees from late or lost materials, regardless of how old or how large the amount, will have their fines completely cleared. In total, the library will be forgiving approximately $9,900 in fines and fees across the board. 

 “We hope that this encourages anyone who may have been reluctant to use our services due to their inability to pay off old fees to start using some of the amazing resources the library offers,” said Librarian Yelena Kisler. “We have so many new digital and physical services, along with many new programs, and we hope people will take this opportunity to rediscover what the library can offer. And, spoiler alert, we offer a whole lot more than just books.” 

Those who have restricted accounts due to fines will still be limited to the number of items they can check out for a minimal amount of time. Anyone with questions is welcome to contact the library by emailing brocampl@zitomedia.net or calling 814-486-8011.
