Eureka! • Children & Teens Program from Huron County Library Courtney McDonald Summer Library Assistant Do you love reading and using the library, but struggle with getting your books back on time? If you are between the ages of 0 and 16 you have the chance to erase those over- due library fines by reading! From June 23rd to July 1 lth, chil- dren ages 0-16 can 'pay' their over- due fines by reading at home or at the library. The program is an initia- tive to diminish barriers that may exist and get kids using the library again. If an individual's fines become too great, they cannot use the library's borrowing services. "Reading and language are such important aspects of education, espe- cially for children and youth.The Read Away Fines program creates a chance for a fresh start for the summer, and brings children into our libraries county -wide. Libraries are a wonderful resource!" said Meighan Wark, County Librarian and Director of Cultural Services.
