For those of you who are accruing massive library fines, this is your chance to have those debts forgiven. Anyone who has overdue books and materials that belong to the Ingham or Halifax Libraries can bring those items in and have their fines waived. Materials must still be checked-out to their library account, and all overdue materials must be returned during the month of June. Unfortunately, pre-existing fines or fines from overdue Interlibrary Loan Materials from other lending libraries can not be waived.
