We're now FINE FREE! Harney County Library will no longer charge late fines, eliminating a barrier to access and ensuring that all people in this community can enjoy the resources and programs the library has to offer, which is our primary purpose as a public library.
Picture
 It's good for our community. Our community is stronger when people have access to the library collections, services, programs, and materials that they need to pursue their family, life, career, and personal goals. We hope patrons who may have stopped using the library due to fines on their accounts will return to their library.

Late fines are not effective. There is no significant difference in return rates for libraries charging fines and those that do not.

Picture
  • You will still get an email or mailed reminder before your items are due.
  • You will no longer receive the 10-cent daily fee on items that are overdue.
  • You are still responsible for returning your items!
  • For items that are damaged or lost, you will still be responsible for the replacement fee.
  • For items that are not returned within 30 days past the due date, the item will be marked as lost on your account and the cost of replacement will be assessed to your account. You will not be able to check out any items until lost items are returned or paid for.
  • If you have overdue fines that accrued before we went fine free, you are no longer required to pay these! Give us a call at 541-573-6670 or talk to someone at the front desk if your account is still showing fines.
