Western Bay Libraries go fine free
As of 1 July, all four Western Bay libraries have joined 15 library systems in Aotearoa in going ‘Fines Free’ in 2022. This means that from 1 July no one will pay fines for taking a little longer to read their borrowed books!
We've joined this national effort to remove these fines as research revealed that overdue library fines were having a detrimental effect. In fact, the research shows that removing overdue fines could lead to more people using libraries, increased membership and better literacy outcomes.
