Hurricane Sandy Update: How the Library is dealing with fines and overdue books =Please also considering donating to the libraries food for fines drive to help people affected by the Hurricane.= =Overdue Books:= Due to Hurricane Sandy we will not be assessing fines on items that were due during the week we were off. We are also issuing a **one week grace period** because we know people are still without power and some had plans to be away next week. **Fines will not start accruing on overdue items until Nov 12th.**

Please note that if you still see a fine listed it is because the fine occurred before the storm but it will not be increasing until November 12th.

**Students are asked to return the books/Nooks as soon as we return to school.**

**In light of the many people who are suffering devastating losses during this time, students will be allowed to pay fines in canned good/non perishable items. 1 can for every $.10 in fines. This DOES NOT INCLUDE lost book fines.**

*Please also note that this a decision of Mrs. Malespina's and does not apply to other libraries in the district.

=Unpaid Fines:= In light of the many people who are suffering devastating losses during this time, students will be allowed to pay fines in canned good/non perishable items. 1 can for every $.10 in fines. This DOES NOT INCLUDE lost book fines.
