250th America eBook Competition
It’s time to celebrate! The United States of America is turning 250 years old! Montgomery County Public Schools will commemorate America’s birthday with an eBook recognizing student talent from all of its schools. Each school will select one student’s work, a poem, a short essay, an artwork, music, a performance, or a literary performance to represent it in the eBook that will be shared with students, families, and the larger community.
Student entries must reflect the eBook's theme: “Many Voices, One Nation.” Students of all grade levels are invited to submit their work for consideration to their school representatives. No explicit or offensive language and/or images are permitted. All student work MUST BE ORIGINAL.
Submission Guidelines can be found here.

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.
