The Easiest $20 You’ll Ever Save.
I overheard this the other day, while putting out some new books in the Cedarbrae Teen Zone:
Teen 1: "Hey, that girl at the desk said you can get a coupon for your fines."
Teen's Friend: "Serious? Wait, what do I have to do? Do I have to, like, read 10 books first or something…"
Although I'd LOVE to have all of you read ten books (or twenty, or, really, even just ONE awesome book) – you don't have to do much if you wanna wipe out up to 20 bucks off your fines.
If you're between 13 and 19 years old, and have old fines sitting around on your library card, don't let it stop you from enjoying the library. Here's what you can do:
1. Print off the Teen Fine Forgiveness Coupon and fill out the info near the bottom.
2. Bring the completed coupon and your library card to a local library branch. (Remember, if you can't find your card, bring something with your full name and address in Toronto – a recent report card will do.)
3. See a staff person at the checkout desk and present your coupon and card.
Just keep in mind – the coupon is only good for your teen library card (sorry, Mom, Dad and little siblings!) and you can't use it to clear fines on other library cards. Once you've used the coupon once, you can't use it again, so think of it as a fresh start to using your card again and avoiding fines from now on!
After all, there's a whole lot you can do with the money you'll save by using this coupon and steering clear of future fines…
If you're still not sure where to start, head into a library and just ask a librarian for some more info and we'll be glad to get you set up. See you soon!
