(And if you're older than 17 but still in high school, you have a small window to drop in and get them to cancel your fines as well.)
Like many such ventures, this was jointly done by the NYPL and the Brooklyn and Queens libraries too.
Over the past few months we'd carefully returned nearly all the books we had out (this time, it was NOT my fault for losing them!) but those fines, omg.

The Petsmart had doggie costumes at $2
Oct. 31st, 2017 03:01 pmWhich is quite a discount from $25! So I bought a few of those. Then at the counter I saw they have Halloween themed dog treats at 50 cents, another very steep discount. The dogs like two of the flavors I picked up, so I'll go back and stock up later. You can never have enough dog treats, honestly.
