Library fines abolished FINES at Frankston’s libraries have been abolished. Past fines have also been waived in a bid to get people borrowing more. Frankston Libraries manager Tammy Goodwin said “at the start of this year we asked the Frankston City community to participate in our biannual library survey. We received an overwhelming number of responses telling us that having a fine was a reason to no longer engage with library
services.” “We know that people can feel embarrassed if they’ve incurred a library fine and we don’t want our members feeling they can no longer enjoy all that the library has to offer. “From our storytimes and school holiday programs, to our workshops and talks with popular authors – we’re here to support you and we welcome you into our library space late fine free,” Council estimates that 21 per cent of library
members owed fines. Library members are now limited to borrowing 40 physical items, and lost item charges will remain.

Lights ready THE final touches are being applied to the lighting towers at Frankston Park in preparation for the 2021 VFL season. The lights were constructed earlier this year, but didn’t see any action with the 2020 VFL season cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Frankston FC CEO Adrian Lloyd said that “workers had been positioning the lights on the four new LED light towers so they provided maximum exposure across the oval.”
