We want every kid in Skokie to enjoy the library. Period. 

So, starting May 1, youth materials no longer accrue overdue fines. If you had fines for youth materials, they vanished on May 1. It's magical!

Here's the boring fine print: This change does not affect fees for lost items or accounts that we've had to turn over to collection. Those fees still apply for youth materials, past and future. Adult materials continue to accrue overdue fines.

One more change: if you have anything that is 21+ days overdue hiding out in your house or your car or wherever, you will need to return it before you can check out anything else. So do remember to bring things back so someone else can enjoy them, and so you can get something new for yourself.
