All fines (late fees) will be waived this week for items that have been returned late.  

If you have fines on your account, just ask our reference staff to remove them. You can call us and ask for the reference desk, email info@milanlibrary.org, or stop by the reference desk. If you still have the items that are overdue, return them first, then ask us to remove the fines.

If you have lost or damaged items, we'll waive the processing fees this week. Let us know they are lost or damaged, and you'll only owe the replacement cost for the item. 

This year's National Library Week theme is "Find Your Joy." We want to encourage you to find and share YOUR library joy and enter for your chance to win a prize - more joy!  

SHARE library joy with someone and then you AND the person you shared with can both enter our prize drawing. Some ways to share library joy:

• Invite a friend to get a library card or come to the library with you. 
• Recommend a book, audiobook, or movie. 
• Tell someone about Libby or Kanopy or MeLCat. 

FIND library joy and enter our prize drawing:

• Ask someone for a book, audiobook, or movie recommendation.
• Ask a library staff member to tell you about a new or new-to-you resource.
• Explore our website and look for something new. 
• Come to a library program - or sign up for a future program.

At the end of the week, we'll draw a few names to win books from our Friends of the Library Book & Media Sale, tote bags, and gift cards to Milan businesses.  

Enter on the forms in the library or online here during Library Week. 

The Friends of the Library have an ongoing book and media sale in the library all the time. 

During Library Week, they will have some extra special sales!  Check back for details.

Participate in a book club, Tiny Tales, Storytime, or other events at the library.
