Starting Oct. 1, the Richardson Public Library will no longer charge late fees, and existing late fees will be removed from Library accounts. The change is in line with “fine-free” best practices that have been implemented by libraries nationwide over the last seven years in order to make libraries more equitable and accessible, particularly for children.
With the Library’s new no-fine policy, three auto-renewals will be allowed before an item must be returned. When an item is overdue, the library patron’s account will be temporarily blocked from checking out, placing holds or using Library computers. Privileges return when the item is returned.
