Fine Free Week is a special city event where overdue library fines are forgiven to encourage people to return their borrowed books without worry. This helps remove barriers, rebuild trust, and bring the community closer. Libraries are changing from places of punishment to welcoming hubs that support learning and connection for everyone. By making books easy to borrow and return, Fine Free Week helps everyone enjoy stories, knowledge, and growing together.
