Fines will no longer need to be paid on overdue books and other items across South Lanarkshire from tomorrow.
The cancellation of fines will apply at all libraries currently run by South Lanarkshire Leisure and Culture (SLLC). Any existing fines will also be cancelled.
General manager of SLLC, Kay Morrison, said: “We hope people will see this as an opportunity to reconnect with their library.
“With the cost of living crisis impacting on so many people’s finances, we recognise another cost, although small, is the last thing that anyone needs.
“So, if you have books gathering dust on your shelf, why not return them and start borrowing again?
“Our libraries are fantastic places to borrow books, learn, or just relax and enjoy the surroundings.”
If you live, work or study in South Lanarkshire, there are 23 libraries with free wi-fi access, and a home delivery service.
You can also discover the history and heritage of your local area or research your family tree and discover your own hidden roots.
The ActiveIT computer learning centres allow visitors to use the internet, email friends or family, or even pick up a new skill.
Find out all the information you need on libraries by visiting the South Lanarkshire Leisure and Culture website.
