Clear Your Shelf, Clear Your Conscience: Mechanics' Institute Offers Late Fee Amnesty!

We understand that life can get busy and you may forget to return your borrowed books and media on time. That's why we're excited to announce our Late Fee Amnesty program, giving you a fresh start with your library borrowing. 

  • Do you have outstanding overdue fees? Request fee amnesty, and we'll happily waive them!

  • Are you worried about future late fees? No need! We're ditching late fees altogether for all borrowed materials.

Our goal is to encourage you to return borrowed materials without the burden of overdue fines. It's a win-win: you get back in good standing, and we get our beloved books and media back on the shelves for others to enjoy.

Here's how it works:

  1. Bring your overdue materials back to the library. We're thrilled to see them return!

  2. Chat with a friendly staff member. Mention you'd like to participate in the Late Fee Amnesty program.

  3. Sit back and relax. We'll wave your outstanding overdue fees with a smile.

We are happy to waive late fees, but it is important to remember that you are still responsible for replacing any lost or damaged materials. Please note that if an item is overdue by 60 days, we will send a billing notice with a request to return the material within 28 days. If the item is not returned within that grace period, a replacement fee will be applied to your account. Let's all do our part to take care of the library's collection.

We are committed to providing a welcoming and accessible library space for everyone. This Late Fee Amnesty is just one way we are making borrowing books and media even more enjoyable. So, head to the Library with your overdue materials, say hello, and let's get those fees waived away.

Bonus tip: You can keep track of your borrowed materials with our handy online account system. Sign in today to easily manage your loans, renew materials, and place holds on additional items.

Happy reading!
