No fine week for outstanding library material
Return books, no fines, no questions asked, says Ekurhuleni.
RETURN your books now and receive no fines with no questions asked.
Libraries across Ekurhuleni will celebrate South African Library Week next month from March 11 to March 19. Libraries are inviting all of their patrons who have overdue library material to return it at no cost during Library Week.
“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,” says Ekurhuleni spokesperson Themba Gadebe.
The theme for this year’s library week is ‘#libraries4lifelonglearning’. It frames the substantial contribution of libraries to the efforts that strive to address our country’s educational, social, cultural and recreational needs and prevalent inequalities.
It provides insight into the role of libraries in South Africa by ensuring equitable access to quality information and to social advancement opportunities, which makes libraries essential to realising the vision of an informed nation.
