Fines Half Off At Your Local Library! |
Internet stores report their
busiest sales day is the Monday after Thanksgiving, known as Cyber Monday.
It is the online version of Black Friday, that Friday after
Thanksgiving when we expect big savings on gift items. This year Central
Mississippi Regional Library System libraries are participating in Cyber Monday
in a very low tech manner. Visit any of the 20 CMRLS library branches in
Rankin, Scott, Simpson, or Smith Counties on Monday, December 1, and all fines
are 50% off. Yes, half off!
"We haven't offered a fine reduction lately," said Mara Polk,
director of CMRLS. "School papers and projects will soon be due; we want
to especially help these students clear up their fines and to
have a successful school year. The offer to cut fines by 50% is open to
all ages, for all fines; however this does not apply to collection
fees."
Come in to any CMRLS library
during regular hours on Monday, December 1, to take advantage of half off
fines. Your local library accepts cash or check. However, it will be possible
to pay your fines by credit or debit card. You must visit your library to have
staff apply the 50% savings to your account and then use a library computer or
your personal device to finish the transaction.
Happy holidays and good savings to you!
