Calling all children and teens—
Do you have fines on your library
card that you'd like to remove?
If so, come to Olney Library (or any
MCPL library branch) to read them off!
For each half hour that you read,
earn $1 “Library Buck” to pay down your fine. You can read any book,
magazine, or e-book.
Before you start, stop by the
Information Desk to sign in and log your start time. After you’ve finished
reading, come to the Info Desk to sign out and pick up your earned “bucks.”
Then bring them to the Checkout Desk to pay down your fine. It’s that easy!
Young children can earn “Library
Bucks” if they read to a parent or caregiver, or if a parent or caregiver reads
to them.
If a teen or child reads to another
young person, both earn “Library Bucks” for their time!
Please note:
- The program is for children or teens 17 years old or
younger
- All reading must be done in the library
- Only fines for overdue books and unclaimed hold fees may
be read down
- Children or teens must have fines at the time of
participation-- bucks cannot be banked for future use.
Stop by the Info Desk if you have any
questions.
While the "Great Fines Read Off Program" runs year round, you can
stay cool this summer by reading at Olney Library… see
you soon!
