In case you did not know, the Yuma County Library District is a fine-free district as of Monday, September 21st, 2020.
So what exactly does this mean? It means that if you had any overdue fines on your account prior to that date, we have gone ahead and forgiven them for you. It also means that from the 21st onward, you will not be charged any fines for turning in books a little bit after their due date.
No, don't get us wrong - we still want you to return your books on time, so other people can check them out, but this just means that you now have a little bit of wiggle room when getting them back to us. Of course, if you lose an item, damage an item, or keep it WAY past the due date, we will eventually be billing you for the cost of the book, so your account CAN still be blocked if you owe us money, it's just that now, it's a lot harder to make that happen!
So, if you think your card was blocked due to late fees and are not sure if this change means you can now use your card, please feel free to call your nearest branch and they will be happy to give you the status of your account!
