Are fines preventing you from checking out books?  Sign up for summer reading and we’ll let you check out one book.   You read 200 pages and we’ll subtract $5 off your fines.  Read 400 pages and we’ll subtract an additional $5 off your fines (that’s up to $10 total).  If you still have fines after that we’ll get you on a payment plan and you can start checking out books again.
