Glasgow libraries to abolish all late book charges and outstanding fines

Fines for late book returns are being abolished at Glasgow libraries to ensure that they are accessible to everyone in the city.

Glasgow Life has removed charges for overdue books and cleared outstanding fines for items yet to be returned across all 33 public libraries, including The Mitchell Library.

The new approach will begin next month and is aimed at removing concerns about fines during the cost of living crisis while encouraging more people to use their local library.
