Read away your own fines or anonymously sponsor another patron.

Honor Dolly Parton's memory by helping expand access to books in our community.

During open hours this September, visit the front desk at either library location to “read away” your fines.  

Don’t have any fines? You can anonymously sponsor a fellow patron.  We’ll let them know their fines have been forgiven—no names attached.

Let’s celebrate Dolly’s legacy by making sure more people have access to the books they love.

This activity does not apply to fines associated with late/damaged laptops or hotspots.
