Borrow Free, Fine Free
You can now borrow books from Luton Libraries without any fear of fines. You can borrow free – and stay fine free.
However, that does mean that we ask you to….
Be kind, renew or return.
Please be kind and either renew or return your books. There are no fines for bringing your books back late, but please be considerate of other readers waiting for books. Our system will also continue to block your cards when books are 49 days late.
