Library Gives Amnesty for Overdue Fines

The San Bernardino Public Library will waive fines for overdue materials that are returned in acceptable condition to the Feldheym Central Library and its three branch libraries from Saturday, Aug. 22 through Thursday, Aug. 27. “The San Bernardino Public Library Board of Trustees hopes this goodwill gesture to the community, as part of Feldheym Library’s 30th anniversary celebration, will also lead to the return of books, DVDs and other materials to help our collections. The library has had limited funds for new book purchases over the past several years since the national economic crisis of 2008 and the city’s bankruptcy declaration in 2012,” said Library Director Ed Erjavek. Patrons wanting to return materials to Feldheym and the Rowe, Inghram or Villaseñor branches are asked to return materials directly to the library staff when the libraries are open, so staff can determine whether the materials are in acceptable condition to waive the charges from the patron’s accounts. Fines will not be waived for items returned in library bookdrops. Library hours are available at the library’s website at www.sbpl.org.
