Fine Forgiveness Month is INCREDIBLE!


You know you’ve always wanted to be a superhero. Well here’s your chance. Lafourche Parish Public Library’s INCREDIBLE Fine Forgiveness Month Program is back this September! You have the superpower to clear your fines AND help your community, all while enjoying the services and resources of your Lafourche Parish Public Library.

Throughout the month of September, library fines and lost item charges can be cleared from your account if you make a non-perishable food & grocery or pet food donation at any of our nine branches. Here’s what you need to do to get started:

  • Stop by or call your home branch. We will check your account & let you know how many non-perishables or cans/bags of pet food you need to bring in to wipe those fines off your account & get back to using the best card in your wallet – your library card!

  • Get together your donation and bring it to the Customer Service Desk at any of our branches – we’ll take care of the fines, and after that, you can check out items again that day!

  • Your food donations must not be expired, so check the expiration dates before bringing you items in.

  • Also, due to the nature of these items, Laptop, Launchpad, Nook, Playaway, Views, and Video Game fines are not included in this promotion.

We love Fine Forgiveness Month because it gives our customers a chance to clear their fines and help their community at the same time! Another bonus is no one gets charged fines for items returned late in the month of September. So that DVD or book that is a couple years late? Bring it back fine-free!

Are you ready to be a superhero? We look forward to accepting your donations next month!
