The metro has opened an amnesty window period to all its library users to return overdue library material for free.<\/p>\n

The amnesty week begins on March 14 until March 21.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

The \u201cFine Free Week\u201d is part of the Library Week celebrations, observed during this time period.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe purpose of the amnesty is to recover long outstanding borrowed library material in all 45 Ekurhuleni libraries at no cost to the library members.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

\u201cReturning the materials will ensure that all users equally share the fountain of knowledge which our libraries produce,\u201d said metro spokesman Themba Gadebe.<\/p>\n

Once the fine free week lapses, users will continue to pay a minimum penalty fee of R2.50 if they fail to return the material within two weeks.<\/p>\n
