Overdue fines and hold fees will increase on September 1, 2011. Hold fees will increase to $1.00 per item (currently $0.50 an item) while overdue fines will increase to $0.35 a day (currently $0.25 a day). This is the first overdue fine/hold fee increase in nine years.
But we’re also giving patrons the chance to receive holds at the $0.50 price for a little while longer. Both branches of the Irondequoit Library will be selling “Hold Cards” for $5.00. Each card is good only at the Irondequoit libraries and is good for ten holds at the old $0.50 rate. You can buy as many “Hold Cards” as you want between now and August 31, when this offer ends. There is no expiration date on the card.
