Fountaindale Public Library Celebrates National Library Week

National Library Week is April 14-20. Patrons have two great options to clear up fines and overdue items during National Library Week and the week leading up to National Library Week (April 8-14).

During the two week Amnesty Period (April 8-20), patrons will be able to return overdue materials without paying any fines (please note that Studio 300 equipment and materials overdue more than 90 days are not included in this special).

The annual Food for Fines program will also run for a two-week duration (April 8-20) and will give patrons the opportunity to eliminate or reduce fines. For each unexpired canned, boxed, bagged or bottled non-perishable food item that you bring in, the library will remove $2.00 from your overdue fines up to $20.00. All food items received will be donated to the DuPage Township Food Pantry. 

National Library Week is April 14-20 and the theme this year is "Communities Matter @ Your Library." We have a lot of fun activities planned for the week.
