Kids Come and Read Away Your Fines in the Children's Room!

 

That's right!  By reading books appropriate to your reading level, you can read away your old fines.

How does it work?

There are many opportunities per week for you to start to read away those pesky fines.  For each thirty minutes of attentive reading, you can reduce your fines by $1.00.  You need to see the children's librarian, Mr. Worthey, to schedule your reading time.  You need to be under 18, and read grade appropriate material.  When your reading is complete, the children's librarian will remove the correct sum from your fine.

When can I do it?

Reading Opportunities include:

Ruff Reading dog visits on Mondays & Tuesdays @ 11:00am and Wednesdays @ 2:15 and 6:15pm or other times scheduled with Mr. Will.
