SuburbanChicagoNews: ELGIN — Kate Burlette calls the $1-a-day fines charged by Gail Borden Public Library for overdue video games the “extended use fees.”
That, said the director of circulation services, is when a teenager hangs on to a video game much longer than the three-week checkout period “because he wants to beat the Xbox game.”
But for $1 day, that same teenager might find he doesn’t have the cash to pay off his overdue fines. And with outstanding fines, he can’t rent the next game.
However, from now until Saturday, Nov. 14, if that teen brings in food for the library’s annual Food for Fines promotion, he can pay down those fines.
