From 1 July, 2021, Hamilton City Council has removed all overdue fees for Junior and Young Adult collections for Hamilton’s libraries.

This means that items from these collections will no longer accrue daily overdue fines if they are returned late (regardless of the borrower's age).

This initiative aims to remove any barriers preventing families and young people from engaging with their local library. Outstanding overdue fines for these collections will also be waived.
