Overdue fines undermine this mission,” Mr Buckingham said.</p> <p>“CCL have seen the community respond strongly to the Forgiving Tree for two years running. We are confident that people will do the right thing by other library members and return items on time without the threat of overdue fines.”</p> <p>Mr Buckingham said staff have witnessed time and again how much it means to people to be able to wipe the slate clean of overdue fines and once again have full access to the resources their local library offers.</p> <p>“The most valuable thing about our collection is that it is well used,” Mr Buckingham said. “We want as many people as possible to borrow items and use our services. Overdue fines are a barrier for those who need our services the most.”</p> <p>While overdue fines will not be charged during the 12-month trial period, members who have overdue items will have their borrowing rights restricted until items are returned and in cases where an item is lost or not returned, the borrower will be billed for the replacement cost.</p> <p>People who are late returning goods will also be able to make a donation to the library which will be used to expand early literacy programs across the library service.</p> </div></div></div> Tue, 05 Dec 2017 05:38:31 +0000 Invisible Ink 2934 at http://cclc.vic.gov.au After hours chute at Bunjil Place CLOSED 8-10 December http://cclc.vic.gov.au/node/2932 <div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden view-mode-rss"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"> <p>The Bunjil Place Library after-hours chute is temporarily inaccessible due to site works from:</p> <p><b>Friday 8 December until Sunday 10 December. </b></p> <p>If as a result, you are unable to return your items by the due date, please note you will NOT incur any late charges during this time.</p> <p>We apologise for any inconvenience caused.</p> <p>~ Michelle</p> </div></div></div> Thu, 30 Nov 2017 04:59:19 +0000 Invisible Ink 2932 at http://cclc.vic.gov.au New location for Mobile Library at Gembrook http://cclc.vic.gov.au/node/2930 <div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden view-mode-rss"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"> <p>From Tuesday 5 December, the <a href="http://www.cclc.vic.gov.au/cardiniamobile">Cardinia Mobile Library</a> will be be located at the <a href="https://www.google.com.au/maps/place/Gembrook+Community+Centre/@-37.9537405,145.5523138,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x6b29d93492b9be0d:0x6e74146ab142b0d3!8m2!3d-37.9537405!4d145.5545025?dcr=0">Gembrook Community Centre</a> in Gembrook-Pakenham Rd.<a href="http://www.cclc.vic.gov.au/cardiniamobile"> <img alt="moving" src="http://www.cclc.vic.gov.au/images/we are moving.jpg" style="width: 250px; height: 166px; float: right; margin: 10px;" /></a></p> <p>Library days and times will remain the same - Tuesdays 2.30-5.30pm.
