Amnesty Weeks will continue until April 26. Patrons who have any items checked out and they are overdue, bring them into the library or drop them into the book drop on the west side of the building and owe nothing on those items. However, if an item is damaged or lost, the patron must pay the full amount for the item. If a patron has a previous fine, pick up a coupon for $1 off at the circula-tion desks. Also during these two weeks, there will be free replacement on lost and/or damaged Richard Mautino Library cards.

Friday, April 18, the library will be closed in observance of Good Friday.

Tuesday, April 22,

story time in the chil-dren’s department will be from 5:30 to 6 p.m. Participants will make wind chimes out of recy-cled materials.
