No. While the program is based on a $5-a-day credit system, we are not requiring you to read for a certain period of time each day to get the credit. We do encourage you to read 30-60 minutes everyday.

No. The Read Away program waives outstanding fees only. No reimbursement of past fees or credit towards possible future fees will be provided.

Any and all fees accrued on your card. We will waive lost and damaged material replacement fees, processing fees, and library card replacement fees.

* Fees related to printing cost or meeting room rental are not eligible for this program.
** Since we no longer charge overdue/late fines, if you have one on your account, please let our staff know. We will remove all previously accrued overdue fines immediately.

If you have a Salinas Public Library card with fees or balance on your account, you’re eligible! You just have to log the number of days you have read by submitting the form above.
