For the month of February, Macquarie Regional Library branches are waiving fines for overdue items.
“We would encourage anyone with an overdue item or fine to bring the overdue items to their local library branch and see our team about how they can have their fees waived as part of Fine Free February,” Macquarie Regional Library Manager, Kathryn McAlister said.
“This is an opportunity for people to start the year fresh, have their fines waived and come back to the library once again and enjoy accessing our great range of books and services.”
Macquarie Regional Library has an extensive range of books for people of all ages as well as access to a large range of e-books and e-audio books via apps such as Libby, Borrow Box and IndyReads.
The library runs regular programs and events throughout the year including Book Clubs, Storytime and Rhymetime and Lego Clubs.
“This month we are inviting those who haven’t visited a library branch in a while to come in, see what’s new and learn about the products and services that are available to the community for free.”
Libraries have changed over the past decade; they are not just a place to borrow books. Libraries are home to a great range of online library services as well as offering meeting spaces, access to computers, study areas and the team are always on hand to assist customers to access a wide variety of databases.
“Best of all the community can access the books and services in the library for free, simply by becoming a library member, which is also free,” Ms McAlister said.

Fine Free February applies to overdue items and fines only. Reservation fees, damaged items and inter-library loan fees are not included in Fine Fee February.
