    Libraries' Amnesty Period Ends June 19 for Overdue Items

    Libraries' Amnesty Period Ends June 19 for Overdue Items


    Jun 19, 2023

    Fort Bend County Libraries’ amnesty period will end on June 19, 2023. Until the expiration of that time, late fees for overdue items will be waived. Fines for overdue items that are returned by June 19 will be waived.

    Outstanding fees that were assessed for items previously thought to be lost, but which have been found, will be waived if the item is returned to the library – either inside or in the outside book drop.

    Fines on overdue items returned PRIOR to this amnesty period, fees for items not returned, and fees for damaged items will NOT be waived during the amnesty period.

    The regular late-fee schedule will resume on Tuesday, June 20.

    For more information, see the Fort Bend County Libraries website (www.fortbend.lib.tx.us) or call the library system’s Communications Office (281-633-4734).
