Library Charges

 

From the start of August 2009 library charges were altered. Children are no longer charged for overdue books and there are no reservation charges on any items that can be supplied by a Welsh Library Authority. Overdue fines on adult books are now charged at 40 pence a week or part of a week. DVDs cost £2.50 to borrow for a week and if returned late will be charged at £2.50 a week or part of a week. A full list of the new library charges can be found below:
