Good news!  The week of April 10^th is Half Off Library Fines Week!!  If you have a late fee, come into the Library and pay half – we’ll delete the other half.  This applies to Library fines only – not textbooks.  It also only applies to late fines – not lost book fines.  This is a super easy and affordable way to get those pesky fines off your plate.  See you soon!  (Run until April 7)
