ROBERTSDALE, Alabama -- The Baldwin County Libraries may not forgive your overdue fines for all eternity, so don’t miss Fine Forgiveness Week!

Return your overdue books, dvds, audio books or any other library owned material to any Baldwin County library during the week of April 14 through April 20 and you will be forgiven. Check your bookshelves, kid’s rooms, couch cushions and under the front seat for stray or lost items. Libraries in Baldwin County will even erase long overdue fines if the missing item is returned but the item must be returned for the fine to be forgiven. Return them in person or via bookdrop and your slate will be wiped clean.

“The Baldwin County Libraries are committed to keeping overdue fines low,” said Liz Reed, director of the Baldwin County Library Cooperative. “We can do this only if our patrons return any overdue library material. We are also determined to continue offering popular DVDs at no charge to the patron, but only if they are returned by the due date.”

Participating libraries are Bay Minette Public Library, Daphne Public Library, Fairhope Public Library, Foley Public Library, Loxley Public Library, Magnolia Springs Public Library, Marjorie Younce Snook Public Library in Summerdale, Orange Beach Public Library, Oscar Johnson Memorial Library, Robertsdale Public Library, Thomas B. Norton Public Library in Gulf Shores and the Baldwin County Library Cooperative.
