Read Down Your Fines
The East Providence Public Library will allow youth, ages 16 and younger, to “pay” their fines by reading. For every half hour they read in the library, $1 will be deducted from their account balance. The reading can be done any time the library is open and a member of the youth services or branch staff will keep track of the reading time and deduct the amount from the individual’s library card. This program will provide an opportunity for children and teens, who do not have their own money, to take responsibility for their fines and earn back their borrowing privileges
