Ekurhuleni’s libraries are giving a one week amnesty to people who have not returned borrowed books and other material.
Themba Gadebe, spokesman of Ekurhuleni metro says the metro has opened an amnesty window period from March 14 until March 21 to all its library users to return overdue books and other library material for free.
The “fine free week” is part of the metro’s libraries week celebrations.
“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,” says Gadebe.
Once the fine free week lapses, users will continue to pay a minimum penalty fee of R 2.50 if they fail to return the material within two weeks.
