Hate paying library fines? It just got a little easier with online credit card fine payments. A new feature has been added to the DCLS digital library, you can now pay your library fines and fees by credit card.

The credit card option is available if you owe more than $10. Just go to www.delcolibraries.org and click the Catalog/Renew/Reserve link on the left menu. That will take you to the DCLS online catalog. Click the My Record link and log in to your account. Here you will see the option to pay your fines and other fees by credit card.

From the My Record screen you will also be able to sign up for e-mail alerts, which will notify you when books are about to be due. You can also renew books and have overdue notices sent by e-mail (helping to save library funds).
