Library fines and charges

Libraries - fine free

Midlothian Libraries operate on a fine-free basis, making it easier for everyone to enjoy borrowing books and resources without worry.

While we don’t charge overdue fines, we do ask that items are returned on time so others can enjoy them too.

If you’re having difficulty returning something, please let us know, our staff are here to help.
