{Fine Increases Effective April 1, 2010}
Public Libraries to increase overdue fees effective April 1, 2010
Public libraries in Lancaster County will increase fines on certain overdue materials effective April 1, 2010. Increases will apply to adult and juvenile materials as follows: fines on the late return of adult and YA materials will increase from $.20 cents per day to $.30 cents per day and from $.10 per day to $.20 per day for children’s material. Fines for videos and DVDs, which is $1.00 per item per day, will remain the same.
Public Libraries have experienced reduced state and county funding for 2010, which factored into the decision to increase extended use fees at Lancaster County’s public libraries. The increases come at a critical time when local funding for library services remains flat and state funding was reduced, impacting all public library budgets, while demand for library services continues to rise.
The public can easily avoid these charges by keeping their library account up to date and renewing checked out items either by phone 717-394-1721 or online at http://catalog.lancasterlibraries.org.
Please note that not all library materials are subject to renewal. If a patron’s account includes an email address, an email reminder is sent out before materials are due.

24-Hour Pick-up Boxes
Pequea Valley Public Library will add another dimension of convenience to library service for its clients with the "Your Library Anytime" 24-hour pick-up boxes that have been placed on the library porch. The pick-up boxes are operated electronically with a keypad. Persons who wish to pick up library items after hours will be given a numerical code that will identify and open the assigned box.
Pequea Valley Public Library is the first library in Lancaster County to offer this service, which has been funded with federal Library Service and Technology (LSTA) funds administered by the Office of Commonwealth Libraries.
