Bolingbrook Library To Discount Overdue Book Fees

BOLINGBROOK, IL — The Fountaindale Public Library in Bolingbrook is taking part in this year's National Library Week, from April 8 to 14 by running a bookmobile and by discounting any overdue library fees. Take advantage of this!

"Clear up any lingering fines on your account while doing a good deed!" the library said on the Bolingbrook website. "Visit the first floor Circulation Desk, and we'll remove $2 in fines (up to $20) per account for each unexpired, non-perishable food item you donate."

They'll also accept any overdue items to the Circulation Desk without being fined, so consider it a grace period. If you've got library fines, now's a great chance to do some good while benefiting from your good deed. All items will go to the DuPage Township Food Pantry.

The library is also sending out a bookmobile and library express van in front of the library during their open house on April 11 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. You can "tour the vehicles, spin the wheel to win prizes and enjoy crafts, music giveaways, pop-up storytimes and refreshments," the Bolingbrook website says.
