The metro has opened an amnesty window period to all its library users to return overdue library material for free.
The amnesty week begins on March 14 until March 21.
The “Fine Free Week” is part of the Library Week celebrations, observed during this time period.
“The purpose of the amnesty is to recover long outstanding borrowed library material in all 45 Ekurhuleni libraries at no cost to the library members.
“Returning the materials will ensure that all users equally share the fountain of knowledge which our libraries produce,” said metro spokesman Themba Gadebe.
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.
