Danbury Library is offering patrons with late fees a chance to get them off their record.  Through Saturday, Danbury Library is allowing patrons to “Erase Away Your Fines”.  Library customers who have accumulated overdue fines for 1 day, 10 days or 10 years are able to return items and bring along a school supply for each overdue item. 

The fines will then be “erased” from the account.  The program does not apply to items that have been lost or damaged. 

All of the school supplies will be donated to the United Way of Western Connecticut’s “Back to School Program”. 

This is the second year Danbury Library is offering such a program.  Officials say this benefits the community and helps get materials returned.  Last year, people who didn't have fines also brought in donations.
