Amnesty Month STARTS Amnesty Month STARTS
N/A
April 3, 2022
In celebration of National Library Week, Vail Public Library will again offer Amnesty Month from April 3 - 30.This is an effort to recover overdue library materials by offering a “fine free” month. We encourage the return of needed library materials and promote increased use of the library. While some materials are simply lost, a great many are still in the hands of the patrons who checked them out. With a "no questions asked" amnesty period, the embarrassment and fear of paying large fines as obstacles to the return of long-overdue materials will be removed.
The amnesty does not include overdue fines still on record from previously returned materials, nor does it include fines for lost and/or damaged items.
