Research shows that overdue fines do not make items come back on the shelves more quickly. Fines do, however, discourage people from visiting the library, and we want to see you here! Beginning July 1, we are going fine-free on almost all of our collection. Please call the circulation desk to learn more: (508) 222-0157. *Late fines will still apply to hotspots, museum passes, and items we order for you outside of the SAILS Library Network.
