You will no longer be fined for not returning a book to Jersey library on time.
On World Book Day, the library is becoming 'fine free'.
The new policy will mean that any overdue items that are borrowed from the Town, Communicare or mobile libraries will not be charged.
Overdue reminders will be sent instead.
It is part of efforts to remove barriers to borrowing books.
“Libraries across the world have been phasing out overdue fines for a number of years, as it has been shown that in charging fines libraries often find they lose the fine, the book and the customer, which is precisely the opposite of what we want to achieve as a service.
We hope that this decision will encourage more people to use this hugely beneficial service and engender a love of reading.” - Ed Jewell, Chief Librarian.
