Kids and Teens: Read, Earn Book Bucks & Pay Down Your Fines
Kids and teens can earn Book Bucks by reading - at home or in the library - and use your Book Bucks to pay down the overdue fines on your library card.
One Book Buck is earned for each 30 minutes of reading or listening to books completed, either at home or in the library.
If you're age 17 or younger, just visit your library and verify the number of minutes you have read or listened to a book, to get your Book Buck.
Book Bucks will only be accepted for current overdue charges. They cannot be accepted against future charges. Charges for lost or damaged items or collection agency fees cannot be paid for with Book Bucks.
