City residents who are 65 years of age or older no longer will pay overdue fines at the St. Louis Public Library. Recognizing that older persons may have difficulty returning books when due, because of lack of transportation or inclement weather, for example, the library is waiving overdue fines for this group of users, announced Joan Collett, librarian and executive director.
Library cards may be obtained at any public library or bookmobile in the city. Senior citizens may obtain St. Louis Public
Library cards for fine-exemption by presenting identification of present address and proof of age. Examples of such proof include a birth, marriage or baptismal certificate, driver’s license, insurance policy, passport, military service or citizenship papers. Medicare and social security cards may not be used as proof of age. The new senior citizen fine exemption is available only to older city residents.
