The Meaford Public Library Permanently Waives Overdue Fines
Effective immediately, the Meaford Public Library Board
has approved the removal of late fines accrued from borrowed items returned after the due date.
  Public libraries aim to provide equitable and accessible service,
and the Meaford Public Library has taken a monumental step in advancing that goal.

All late fines currently on members’ accounts will be waived.
However, the Library will still be charging members for lost or damaged items,
items not returned after 60 days, and overdue interlibrary loans.
  We encourage patrons to return items by their due dates
to ensure responsible borrowing and to promote consideration in sharing your community resource.
  The Meaford Public Library Board is waiving fines, not the due dates.

For more information read the News Release from the Library Board Chair.
