September is Fine Forgiveness Month at Waco-McLennan County Library

Published on August 22, 2024

Waco-McLennan County Library is excited to announce Fine Forgiveness Month, a one-month amnesty program running from September 1 to September 30, 2024. During this period, the library will waive all overdue fines for library materials returned to any of its branches.

How to Participate

To participate, Waco-McLennan County Library cardholders can return overdue library materials to any library location. The library will forgive all associated overdue fines, reactivate any suspended library cards, and waive replacement card fees.

A library patron may also have another library cardholder's fines forgiven if they return the library material for them or if they are the guardian on a child's account.

Waco-McLennan County Library invites all community members to take advantage of this special offer. For more information, please visit wacolibrary.org or contact your local library branch.

Important to Note

This offer excludes fees for damaged book replacements, fines and fees associated with Interlibrary Loans (ILL), copies, scans, and faxes, and non-resident and short-term resident annual fees. Additionally, lost or missing items must be returned or replaced before fines can be forgiven.
