Toledo Lucas County Public Library Creates Fine Free Card
Special to The Truth
The Toledo Lucas County Public Library is proud to announce
that the Library's Board of Trustees approved a resolution
to create a Fine Free Library Card for active duty
military personnel and military veterans.
As a way to further honor and remember those who serve and
have served our country, the Library made the card available
on December 7, the 75th anniversary of Pearl
Harbor Day.
This idea came from the Library's own DIG (Diversity
Initiatives Group) committee, based on a suggestion to offer
a fine free library card to active duty military personnel
and military veterans. Currently the Library offers fine
free cards to Seniors (age 60 and over), those with
disabilities (Ability Card) and to children via the Kids/eAccess
Card.
To obtain a fine free library card appropriate documentation
will be required showing a status of active duty, veteran,
or retired military. Examples of such documents include, but
aren't limited to, Military ID, DD214 form, Certificate of
Release, or Discharge from Active Duty.
With about 19,000 military veterans living in Lucas County,
this is just one example of how we strive to increase the
connectedness between communities and community
organizations, and ensure citizens from all walks of life
and all parts of the County are aware of, use, and
appreciate Library services.
