Have you heard? >>
Big news about overdues! North Kansas City Public Library is no longer charging a fee for overdue materials. (Yes, really!) As part of our ongoing commitment to making the Library accessible to all our patrons, we are changing the way we handle overdues--as we don't want these fees to become a barrier to library use. Have you noticed lingering overdue fines on your card? Let us know, and we'll remove them.
One note:
The Library WILL still bill for lost or damaged items. So if you keep an item for months, you'll still get a bill. Ditto for items that puppy dog ate. But those pesky overdues that pile up when books are a little late?? Those are no more. So happy spring! And hope to see you around the Library soon!
