Read Away Your Fees Program

Readers up to the age of 21 can erase all their library fines and fees by participating in the “Read Away Your Fees” program. For roughly every 30 minutes you read, you will get a $1 non-transferrable Library Buck Coupon. Reading takes place inside the library and can be any material of choice. This program is available year around.

Contact your local library for information about the Summer Reading Program.
