How do I pay fines on my card?
Answer
The Burlington County Library System has eliminated overdue fines on most items! As of July 1 2024, your account will no longer accrue overdue fines. This includes, books, CDs, DVDs, magazines, video games, and technology-on-loan. However, overdue fines on select library items such as Museum Passes, Borrow-A-Book-Club sets, Interlibrary Loans, and Classroom Kits will still accrue. Items borrowed on the Libby app (ebooks and audio ebooks), and streaming videos do not have late fines as they are automatically removed from your account and returned into the system.
Please be aware that items that are not returned will go into lost status and accounts with items in this lost status will be locked until the items are returned or replacement fees are paid. Cardholders will be unable to borrow more items or download books or magazines in Overdrive/Libby. You can find more information here.
If you do accrue a fine, fines can be paid in person at the library. Please note that most branches can only accept cash. The Evesham (856-983-1444) and the Westampton (609-267-9660) branches do accept card payments and will also take payment over the phone.
