SAN LEANDRO, CA The City of San Leandro Library is joining a national trend by permanently eliminating overdue fines and offering a one-time overdue fine amnesty by waiving outstanding fines. The library s proposal was approved Monday by the City Council and took effect immediately. By eliminating overdue fines, the Library will remove financial barriers and restrictions, making the San Leandro Public Library a more equitable place for all of its members, officials said in a news release. Library members will still be expected to return library materials on time and will be billed for lost or damaged items.
