In celebration of this year’s National Library Week, April 7-12, the Liberty Municipal Library will be holding a fine forgiveness week.
Patrons can bring in their overdue items or return them to the Liberty Municipal Library outside and inside book drops during the week and those overdue fines will be cleared. Yes, you can even return those materials that have been out for decades.
Fine removal applies to all library materials including books, magazines, DVDs/Blu-ray, and audio books. Fine forgiveness does not include costs for damaged materials or postage fees. Fines will only be forgiven for Liberty Municipal Library materials.
National Library Week is an annual event that emphasizes the importance libraries and library staff have within their communities. It highlights the focus on growing readership and the library’s vision of creating a lifelong love of reading.
Last year, $500 dollars’ worth of lost/overdue materials was returned and close to $150 dollars was forgiven in library fines during the Fine Forgiveness Week. If you have overdue materials, please take the opportunity to take part in the Fine Forgiveness week.
For more information, contact the library at 936-336-8901. Library hours are Monday-Thursday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Friday, 1-5 p.m., and Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
