The LHS library started a new program in October, the Great Bengal Read-Away, to help students reduce library fines.
Any student who would like to reduce fines can sign in at the library, sit quietly and read a book for 30 minutes. Each session of 30 minutes of reading will remove $3 from a student’s fines.
Students who spend their time signed in talking with friends, playing on their phones or napping will be disqualified, and fines will not be forgiven, according to LHS librarians. This program also does not waive fines from damaged or lost books.
