Beginning on Friday, April 15th, PCPL will end the temporary suspension of fines for overdue items and fees for prints, copies and faxes made at the library. Overdue fines will be charged only for items due on or after April 15, 2022. As before, there will be a week long (7 day) grace period after an item is due. The overdue fee accrues during the grace period, but is not charged unless an item is turned in after the grace period expires.
