Patrons of Naperville's three public libraries, including Nichols Library on Jefferson Avenue, no longer accrue fines when they fail to return books on time, according to a new policy that took effect June 1. Instead, their accounts are locked after seven days, meaning they won't be able to check out new materials or access online collections until an overdue item is returned.
