Fine Free Friday

Return your books, CDs, DVDs, or other overdue materials (including inter-library loan, San Diego Circuit, and Link+ items) on the last Friday of each month and we'll get rid of the fines for those items!

Friday, January 28, all day.

In consideration of our lending partners, this will be the last Fine Free Friday for which we will waive fines for inter-library loan, San Diego Circuit, and Link+ items. We will continue to waive fines for materials owned by the San Diego County Library.
