San Francisco Public Library is instituting a two week fine amnesty program to encourage the return of overdue books and materials without penalty.

The Library is asking, “What’s Your Excuse?”
The best excuses will be posted along with our celebrity excuses.

Return your items without penalty and make items available for public circulation again. The amnesty restores borrower privileges once overdue materials are returned. The amnesty does not pertain to overdue fines still on record from previously returned or lost materials.
