Q. Why is NHCPL resuming overdue fines?
Answer
Starting March 1, 2021, the library will resume charging fines for overdue materials. Fines encourage people to return items on time. We hope that the holds lists for our extremely in-demand items will start moving a bit faster as items are returned in a timely manner.
Items can be returned 24/7 at any library location in our outside book returns. Returned items will go directly into quarantine, but no overdue fines are charged on items during quarantine.
