MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) The Middle Georgia Regional Library System is removing fines from children’s and teen print materials effective July 1st.
The library board of trustees voted earlier this year to remove the fines from those materials to remove barriers. They hope it will increase accessibility for lower income families. Also they are forgiving all of the outstanding fines for those materials.
The library encourages people who previously had fines on their accounts for children’s and teen materials to come back and use the library services.
