Dear San Francisco Public Library Cardholder,

We have an exciting announcement to share with you. Effective today, September 16, 2019, San Francisco Public Library has eliminated overdue fines for all Library patrons. This move ensures that our public library is living up to its commitment to provide free and equal access to information, knowledge, independent learning and the joys of reading for our diverse community.

Also effective today, all outstanding overdue fines will be cleared from all patron records. No exceptions, no questions. You are fabulously fine free.

Any items checked out starting today that are eligible for renewal will be automatically renewed for you. For more information on the auto renewal process, visit sfpl.org/autorenew

The Library still encourages patrons to return books in a responsible and timely fashion to the Library so others may enjoy our shared resources. For more information about how the Library is supporting this new initiative, visit sfpl.org/finefree
