Wanna get rid of your overdue fines?

The El Paso Public Library will erase overdue fines for anyone who signs up for the 2017 Summer Reading Club (SRC), so long as their library materials have been returned. It’s part of a Read Down Your Fines program designed to give kids, as well as adults the opportunity to come back to the library and prevent Summer learning loss. Patrons can pledge to read down their fines by registering in person at any branch or online through the Wandoo Reader database. Once registered, patrons will take their registration form, voucher, or show proof on an electronic device to the circulation desk to have overdue fines waived. Fine waivers for registering for the summer reading club may ONLY be applied to outstanding balances from the following bill types: overdues. Waivers will NOT be applied to damaged, missing barcodes, lost items, ILL holds fees, non-resident fees, or card replacement fees. Fines accrued at the Jenna Welch/Laura Bush Library are not eligible for this program.

In this retelling of the legend, Will Scarlet, Robin Hood's friend, isn't a boy, but instead is a woman known to most around Sherwood as Scar or Will. Everyone believes she is a male thief and that's what Scarlet wants them to believe. Only a few folks know most of the truth, including Robin, Little John, Much and Friar Tuck. Scarlet is a strong, moody character. She has plenty of secrets and a dark past. She's also torn about her disguise as a man: for example, the religious Scarlet won't go to church dressed as a man because...
