Auckland Council Libraries: Goodbye overdue fines!

Goodbye overdue fines!

Good news! We’ve automatically removed overdue fines from your library account – current and historic. You'll also no longer be fined for returning items after the due date.

This change does not apply to inter-library loan overdue fines. Replacement charges will still apply if an item doesn’t come back within a given timeframe. 



What’s next?

With no overdue fines to hold you back, join us and get started on a new journey of exploration.



Charges for lost or damaged items
Couple talking while using devices.

Log in to your account with your library barcode number and your PIN/password to check your account balance.


If you still have replacement charges on your library account, don’t worry! Pop into your local library or contact our Te Māpuna Library Connect team to chat with our friendly staff about what to do next.


If you've found an item that has previously been marked as lost on your account - be sure to return it to any of our libraries. Once it's returned, we'll remove the charge from your account and you can start exploring the library again.
