Palmerton Library issued the following announcement on Sept. 4.
Just a reminder that when you return books or movies, either in the library or in the outside bin, all items go through a four day quarantine before they are taken off your account. When the materials come out of quarantine, they are back dated four days and taken off your account.
You may get a courtesy email reminding you to renew or return materials or that an item is overdue. These emails are automatically generated by the system. If you get one of these emails for an item you have returned, it is most likely in quarantine.
There are no fines being charged on anything from March 14th and forward. Old fines will still appear in your account. If you have any questions, please feel free to call the library at 610-826-3424.
