• Checkout limits: Unlike the library’s other content platforms, hoopla is a cost-per-use service, with the library paying for each checkout in lieu of a set annual fee. Because of this pricing model, there is a limit of five checkouts per month per library card.

Winfield Library is Now Fine Free!
We are proud to announce we have permanently gone fine free and will no longer charge any fines for materials returned after the due date. Fines can be punitive to the most active and loyal patrons, and they can disproportionately affect lower-income households. Libraries that have gone fine free report that a majority of their items are still returned on time.

Although there remains a cost for lost or damaged library materials, overdue fines have been removed and every library cardholder has a clean slate. We are also continuing to automatically renew items with no pending holds up to two times. You will receive a notice when items are coming due and must be returned.

We are excited to be following the practice of many libraries around the country and removing this potential barrier to library services.

Meeting Room Closed
Although the library itself is now reopen on both levels, the meeting room is closed until further notice.
