EASTERN SHORE PUBLIC LIBRARY WAIVES FINES DURING STORM

(Accomac, Virginia) September 11, 2018 – Eastern Shore Public Library encourages you to checkout library books, magazines, and DVD’s prior to the approaching storm. Ebooks and magazines can be downloaded for free from the library website anytime that you have Internet connectivity. Reading can be fun and rewarding activity when homebound during storms.

If the library closes due to inclement weather, staff asks that books are not returned to the libraries until the library re-opens to regularly scheduled times. Books can become damaged in book returns during heavy rains. Library fines will be waived for any materials that become overdue when the library has emergency closings. Do not risk your safety to return library items on time!

Library closings will be posted to the media and on Facebook. For more information, call the Eastern Shore Public Library at 757-787-3400 or visit www.espl.org.
