No More Late Fees

Don't spend your lunch money paying late fees!

A year ago Boulder Public Library decided to do away with late fees. Items still have a due date, and you are encouraged to return them on time but items not on hold for someone else will automatically renew up to three times. After one month from the final due date, you will be charged for the full amount of the item. Return it at any time and it will come off your account. Please call 303-441-3100 if you have any questions.

Recommended Read

"Radicalized" By Cory Doctorow

“This collection of short stories set in the not-so-distant future touches on capitalism, oppression, racism, and immigration--issues that we're dealing with today. Thought-provoking, with laughter and a bit of ire.”- Katherine R., Materials Handling

“The library is my favorite place! I love to read.” - at Main Library’s Tween Time
