Library district ending fines

As of May 1 the West Bonner Libraries no longer charge late fees for overdue library items.

Following the trend of libraries across the country, the West Bonner Library District Board of Trustees made the decision recently to change the policy to reduce barriers and provide more access to the library.

Library patrons will still be responsible for borrowed materials. Waiving of fees does not include lost or damaged items. Overdue notices will still be sent. If items go long-overdue, patrons’ accounts will be charged for the price of the item, an invoice will be sent and accounts will be locked until materials are returned. If not returned, accounts may be sent to a collection agency.

For more information, call the library at 208-448-2207 or email library@westbonnerlibrary.org.
