Libraries across the Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality will celebrate South African Library Week in March.

The celebration is held nationally from March 11 to 21.

“From March 11 to 19, libraries are inviting all of their patrons who have overdue library material to return it at no cost,” said the metro’s spokesperson, Themba Gadebe.

“The mantra for Fine Free Week is ‘no questions, no fines’ and thus, library users are encouraged to return all of the overdue resources they have borrowed in order to allow others to benefit from them.”
