Fine Forgiveness from front page
In her presentation to the City Council, she
mentioned that a growing number of libraries
nationwide -- including the main facilities in
notable cities such as San Diego, San Mateo
and Denver -- have eliminated charges for
late returns of library materials in order to
increase patron access to materials and services,
reduce the inequitable impact of overdue
fines, improve patron relationships with the
library, and optimize staff time and increase
efficiency. “Many other public libraries are
creating fine-free cards for certain categories
of patrons, such as kids or teens or active
duty military personnel and veterans,” Mc-
Collum said. “Interestingly, in a recent study
of libraries that have eliminated overdue
fines, none of the libraries have experienced
increases in late returns, longer hold times,
or gaps in the collection.”
While she isn’t aware of a “record-holder”
for the longest overdue book in El Segundo,
McCollum hopes some interesting stories
emerge from Fine Forgiveness Month. “Perhaps
an adult has been holding onto an old
library book they couldn’t part with as a kid
or someone finds a 1930s El Segundo Public
Library book tucked away on a relative’s
bookshelf,” she said.
Meanwhile the El Segundo Public Library
is also gearing up for National Library
Week (April 7-13). “In addition to Fine
Forgiveness Month, we’ll be celebrating library
highlights, volunteers, our new reading
lounge, and the debut of our first Limited
Edition Artist Series Library Card at a
special National Library Week Breakfast on
Thursday, April 11 at 8 a.m. where all are
welcome to attend,” McCollum said. Fine
Forgiveness Month promotional material will
be available to the general public by the time
this article hits the streets. School library
staff also plan to work with administrators
and parents to ensure current El Segundo
Unified School District students’ accounts are
cleared of overdue fines during April. Now if
only Jerry Seinfeld and George Washington
could have had the same opportunity back
in their day… •

be used for that purpose. NOTICE
TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are
considering bidding on this property
lien, you should understand that there
are risks involved in bidding at a trustee
auction. You will be bidding on a lien,
not on the property itself. Placing the
highest bid at a trustee auction does
not automatically entitle you to free and
clear ownership of the property. You
should also be aware that the lien being
auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you
are the highest bidder at the auction, you
are or may be responsible for paying off
all liens senior to the lien being auctioned
off, before you can receive clear title to
the property. You are encouraged to
investigate the existence, priority, and
size of outstanding liens that may exist
on this property by contacting the county
recorder’s office or a title insurance
company, either of which may charge you
a fee for this information. If you consult
either of these resources, you should be
aware that the same lender may hold
more than one mortgage or deed of trust
on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY
OWNER: The sale date shown on
this notice of sale may be postponed
one or more times by the mortgagee,
beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant
to Section 2924g of the California Civil
Code. The law requires that information
about trustee sale postponements be
made available to you and to the public,
as a courtesy to those not present at the
sale. If you wish to learn whether your
sale date has been postponed, and, if
applicable, the rescheduled time and date
for the sale of this property, you may call
(714) 730-2727 for information regarding
the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet

to this case: 138866. Information about
postponements that are very short in
duration or that occur close in time to the
scheduled sale may not immediately be
reflected in the telephone information or
on the Internet Web site. The best way
to verify postponement information is to
attend the scheduled sale. A-4688032
