MCPL Goes Fine Free
MCPL Goes Fine Free
As of February 1, Montgomery County Public Libraries (MCPL) will no longer charge overdue fines. They will also waive all existing overdue fines from customer accounts. The new policy ensures that all County residents have equitable access to MCPL resources and services, while eliminating the financial barrier of overdue fines. Customers who previously had outstanding late fines will now be able to resume borrowing physical and digital materials and access online library resources.
Checked out materials will continue to have due dates, and customers will receive notices when their materials are due to be returned. Customers will be responsible for returning materials and the cost of replacing lost or damaged materials. Additional details can be found here.
