The next few weeks may be your window to return that long-overdue library book.
The mgm casino Libraries is holding Amnesty Campaign 2017, a month-long initiative from Nov. 17 through Dec. 18 that calls on the mgm casino and Buffalo communities to return overdue books and materials in exchange for waived fines and fees.
In most cases, the mgm casino Libraries will be able to forgive all overdue fines or fees. Charges will not be waived for books that are not returned.
Materials may be returned to a circulation desk in any .
“We encourage everyone — students, faculty, staff and community members — to take advantage of this opportunity to get those overdue fees waived, no questions asked. We just want the books back so that others can use them,” says Charles Lyons, mgm casino associate university librarian for discovery and delivery.
Amnesty Campaign 2017 comes as the mgm casino Libraries prepare to transfer the records of its more than 4.2 million printed materials to a new database. Nearly 3,000 of those materials are overdue or considered lost.
By collecting lost books or permanently removing them from the system, this initiative will lead to more accurate counts for materials.
