![[NSW] Library Amnesty Fees Waived @ Inner West (Sydney) Libraries](https://files.ozbargain.com.au/n/29/525529.jpg?h=04c710dd)
Inner West Sydney libraries have waived overdue fees "until further notice".
This includes Marrickville, Balmain, Ashfield and Leichhardt library and many others. Some are closed. Check websites.
Good for if you are in self isolation and can't return items in time.
Make sure you don't touch anything when you go in.
If you are self isolating, definitely stay away.
Email says: "No fines will be applied until further notice".
Good news at Marrickville, you can go in and out without touching anything except what you're borrowing.
There's also hand sanitizer for all guests.
Must become a Library member of course.

Changes to library operations
Effective Thursday 19 March, the following branches will be temporarily closed:
Emanuel Tsardoulias Community Library (Dulwich Hill)
Haberfield Library
Stanmore Library
St Peters Library
The following branches will be open with reduced hours from Monday to Friday, 9am to 5:30pm, and closed weekends:
Ashfield Library
Balmain Library
Leichhardt Library
Marrickville Library
All library members still have access to online membership and borrowing including access to books, audio books, movies, e-learning and magazines.
As well, please note:
Limited access to computers/printing/computers in 60 minute blocks
Borrowing of items using self check out machines only
After hours return chute access
Staff will monitor attendance at the sites and ensure attendance does not exceed 100 people (including staff) at any one time
No fines will be applied until further notice
Home Library service continues as usual.
This is neither a deal nor a bargain.
And it's selfish to do as you suggest.
The reason for the amnesty is due to the precautionary closure of smaller branches and to dissuade people who cannot return items on time due to these closures and/or quarantine / illness.
