The Bridgeview Public Library now is a fine free Library! Any user checking out materials at BPL, regardless of residency, will not be charged overdue fines. Instead of an overdue fine, an alert will be placed on user accounts once an item is overdue for 14 days or longer. This alert will prevent future use of the Library card. Once an overdue item is returned, the alert is removed, no fines are assessed, and the Library card can be used again.
BPL cardholders should be aware that they are subject to the lending policies, including any applicable fines, of other libraries that they visit. Inter-library loan materials remain subject to any applicable overdue fines established by the lending library.
