DAVENPORT, IOWA (May 1, 2019) — Do you have fines? The entire month of May, the Davenport Public Library is participating in Read Away Your Fines! Simply stop by any of our three locations at the Service Desk and tell them you are interested in reading away your fines. The staff will give you a bookmark to take home. Each book on the bookmark represents one hour of reading and $4 of fines. The books on the back are separated into 15 minute sections. This counts as anything read in house or at home.
When are finished with your bookmark, return it to any service desk and we will waive the amount of fines they have read. There is no cap so they could read away all their fines if they want. This program will count for fines only and will not cover replacement costs or collection agency fees.
Read Away Your Fines will be running from May 1 to May 31.
