• No More Late Fees At Southington Public Library (patch.com) — Southington residents who use the public library no longer have to worry about daily late fees on most books, movies, and audio materials, and existing overdue fines are being wiped clean. Patrons still need to return items on time or face temporary account blocks and replacement bills, and some specialty items will continue to accrue fines, but the change is meant to make the Southington library more welcoming and accessible to everyone.
   

• Scam Artists Target Southington Apple Harvest Festival (patch.com) — Southington's Apple Harvest Festival organizers are alerting local businesses and vendors about scammers falsely offering vendor spots and demanding payment through unofficial apps and links.
