Programs this week at the Yarmouth Town Libraries

Fine Forgiveness
February 2019

Bring your overdue items to the Yarmouth Town Libraries along with a donation for the Yarmouth Food Pantry in February, and we will forgive your fines. This applies to overdue fines only, and does not cover lost materials. If you bring extra items and wish to help another patron have their fines forgiven, you can "pay it forward" and leave an extra item beside the bin for another patron to donate.

The Pantry always needs paper products, laundry and dish washing soap, cleaning supplies and food storage wraps or baggies.

The Yarmouth Town Libraries will be closed on Monday, February 18, for Presidents Day.
