Monday, August 23, 2004 – The Castries Central Library has announced a
Book Amnesty throughout the months of September and October, 2004. During this
period, library patrons will have the opportunity to return books borrowed from
the Central Library, with no fear of recrimination.
Assistant Librarian at the Castries Central Library, Cynthia Joseph, considers
the Book Amnesty a prime opportunity for the library to re-acquire a treasure of
books that have been withheld by borrowers.
“Throughout the years, patrons have been borrowing books from the library and
they have not been returning these books. As a result, our collection has
reduced considerably. The
Central Library has designated the month of September and October as book
amnesty month. During this period, patrons with overdue books can bring in the
books and no overdue fines will be charged,” Miss Joseph said.
Patrons of community libraries throughout the island can also bring in overdue
books to these smaller branches. All are urged to take advantage of the amnesty
period.
