My Fines
How do I pay my fines?
At this time, fines cannot be paid in person at the Library.
Make payments using a credit card - Log into your Library account and go to Fines and Messages.
Mail payment by check or money order - Make payable to Treasurer of Arlington County and include library card number. Mail to: Central Library, Attention: Circulation, 1015 N. Quincy St, Arlington, VA 22201
Daily library overdue fees were eliminated in the FY21 Arlington County Budget. No new daily overdue fees will accrue after July 1, 2020. Overdue fees of $ .30 per day, with a maximum overdue fee of $9.00 per item, charged before July 1, 2020 remain due on library accounts. Lost material fees and other service fees still apply.
My problem is something else
I would like my fines waived for another reason
Library fines are not waived as a matter of course, but we do consider one-time exceptions in extenuating circumstances. Please use this form to tell us about your circumstance and a supervisor will review this request.
I would like my fines waived because I did not get an overdue reminder notice
While the library will email reminders about items, we cannot guarantee delivery of these messages. Failure to receive a reminder notice does not waive the customer’s responsibility for the timely return of materials or any fines incurred. If you are running any spam-blocking features, or have a Verizon, Mindspring, Earthlink, or Comcast account, be sure that you can receive email from the “LibCustomerServices@arlingtonva.us” address. Check with your Internet provider for instructions. More about Notices and Notice options
