ORLA Goes Fine-Free

ORLA is going fine-free beginning September 1. In order to enhance access and encourage additional use, the local libraries will no longer collect overdue fees. There will still be fees for unreturned and damaged materials in addition to hot spot rentals and loans from other libraries. This means users can check out items from their shared collection of over 100,000 materials without the extra worry about late fees. Happy reading!
