Dec 5 - Feb 5 | DC Public Library Fine Forgiveness!


This is such awesome news! The Advoc8te has to admit she has quite a few overdue books at home and that has prevented me from checking out new ones, so the folks at E-books have been getting my money. So excited that I can now return my books - for no overdue fines - and start checking out some new ones (which I will promptly return).

Spread the news and check out some new books!


Return Any Library Book, CD and DVD In Any Condition
The "Check It In" campaign is an effort to encourage DC Public Library cardholders who haven't used the library in a while because of overdue, lost or damaged books or other library materials to return to the library.  The DC Public Library will forgive all fines and fees on any overdue, lost and damaged item.

The DC Public Library wants to get back as many overdue books as possible to benefit more District residents. The Library wants to also ensure we have your most up-to-date information so this is an opportunity for you to update your customer record with your new email address, phone number or mailing address.  Please plan to show valid identification when updating your account.

How long is the campaign?
The 60-day campaign will run from Monday, Dec. 5, 2011 – Sunday, Feb. 5, 2012.

How does it work?
No matter how long you’ve had the book. No matter the condition of the CD. You can return them to any DC Public Library. No questions asked. And best of all NO FINES OR FEES charged. You lost it? No problem. Stop by your local library and we’ll forgive that too.  When returning your book, you must see a library staff person in order to clear your record of fines and fees.

What are you waiting for? Check it in and discover the joy of using your library again.
