LIBRARY DECLARES AMNESTY MONTHS

March and April have been designated Overdue Amnesty Months by the Jackson Public Library.

Patrons with overdue books, magazines, videotapes, audio cassettes, CD's or books-on-tape will not have to pay fines if they return the items by the end of April. The library will begin charging overdue fines for all overdue materials on May 1.

Video fines remain $1 per video per day. There will be a five-center per day charge for all other materials. The two-week checkout period will be extended to three weeks.

By April, meanwhile, the library will have an automated catalogue and circulation system, replacing the old card catalogue. Each patron will be issued a wallet-size patron card which must be presented at checkout. For questions, call 243-5150.

The library will be closed March 27-29 for staff training.
