You will rarely find a patron who has never had an overdue fine, and we at the Crestview Public Library understand that life can be busy. Forgetting to bring back library items on their due date is just one thing that makes us human.
On Monday, Feb. 29, the Crestview library will waive fines for overdue materials returned in good condition. Fines on each returned, overdue item will be waived on this day only.
So, if you have been avoiding the library because of a book that was due back six months — or six years — ago, we will gladly waive your fines.
We hope that all will take advantage of this day to return overdue materials so that others may share all our wonderful library resources.
Marie Garcia is the Crestview Public Library's assistant director.
