Homer Township Public Library

Library will waive late fees in April 9th – April 30th


The Homer Township Public Library is celebrating National Library Week by declaring "Amnesty on Fines" from April 9th to April 30th, 2007. This means that any materials owned by the Homer Township Public Library that are overdue and returned will have their late fees up to $20.00 forgiven during these days. Amnesty does not apply to materials that have not been returned.

Circulation Supervisor Jody Studer said, "Sometimes people feel embarrassed about having overdue items. Amnesty gives them an opportunity to return overdue items discreetly by dropping them into one of the library’s two books drops. Patrons can also return items to the circulation desk."

"Getting long overdue materials back is the most important part of the program," Jody said. "Having materials returned makes them available for other people and saves the library money by not having to replace materials."

For more information, visit the Homer Township Public Library at 14320 W. 151st Street, Homer Glen, Illinois, call 708-301-7908 or see the library's Web site http://www.homerlibrary.org/. Libraries hours are Monday-Thursday 8:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., Friday 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Remember the bookdrops are open even when the library is closed.
