Duchesne County libraries have big news to share. Starting today, there will no longer be late fees charged to patrons. Duchesne County is following in the footsteps of Uintah County that made the same change this Spring. Uintah County cited that one reason for stopping late fines is that the cost of collecting, receipting and depositing is more than what is collected in the end. Duchesne County announced their change in policy last week. One thing that’s important to understand is that it is still required to return items when they are due and patrons will not be able to check out more items until previously checked out items are turned in. Also, fines will still be assessed for lost and damaged library items.
