No! We, like many libraries, have phased out this punitive measure. If you would like more information on “fine-free” libraries ask us and we can provide you with reading material.

As part of a trustee board, trustees serve on a volunteer basis, can be elected or appointed to a library board for a period of time, and are tasked with the duty of helping to direct the funds and policies of an institution. In general, the library board of trustees has a role in determining the mission of the library, setting the policy that governs the library, hiring and evaluating a library director, and overseeing the general management of the library.

Of course! Send us an email, call, or come into the library and we will get things squared away.

We understand that it can be hard to get out of the house and to the library. As of now, we don’t have a robust delivery service but we can help on an as needed basis.

Shanna!
