We're Going Fine-Free!
We’re frequently asked when overdue fines are coming back, and we’ve finally got an answer for you. Never.

As of July 1, DeKalb County Public Library will no longer charge overdue fines! Read our press release for more.
You will not be able to check out items if you have:
- 10 or more items overdue
- An item 10 days overdue
- A balance of $10 or more
Replacement fees will be charged for items that are more than 4 weeks overdue. Check our Fines and Fees page for details on replacement costs.
If you’d like due date reminders, be sure that we have your email address or text-friendly phone number!
