Overdue fines set to return
During the Covid-19 lock down we extended loan times, and stopped applying fines, so you had fewer things to worry about. It was a simple thing we could do at a difficult time.
Now life has settled to a new normal under Level 1 it’s time to return our services to normal too. From 1 August 2020 fines will again be applied to overdue books issued to adult cards with the South Taranaki LibraryPlus. There are no fines on children’s cards with South Taranaki LibraryPlus and the change does not affect Stratford Library cards.
Don’t forget you can renew items unless someone else is waiting on them; renew them online yourself at http://ils.stdc.govt.nz, email librarycontact@stdc.govt.nz or phone 0800 111 323.
If we have your email address we can send you a reminder a few days before your items are due back so you can either return or renew them. Next time you’re in one of our seven LibraryPlus take a moment to check your details are correct.
