What is amnesty? am•nes•ty [am-nuh-stee] “an act of forgiveness for past offenses, esp. to a class of persons as a whole”.
Starting Friday, May 1 through Thursday, May 14, 2009 the CPCC Libraries will be offering a “1-for-1 deal” as part of “fine free forgiveness days”. During this period, fines accrued from overdue items (e.g., books, DVDs, videos, CDs, etc.) will be forgiven.
How does this deal work?
- Return overdue library materials to any CPCC library along with a canned good or non-perishable food item. For each item returned and brought, the associated fine will be waived.
- Bring in a canned good or other non-perishable food item for each previously returned overdue item and unpaid fines will be waived.
- All materials must be returned in good condition. This deal excludes replacement fees for lost and damaged materials.
This deal is too good to pass up, so get busy looking under your bed, in your closets, in the trunk of your car, or any other place you think you have library materials. This is your chance to bring ‘em back without any questions being asked.
Library materials and food item donations will be received at all campus libraries until May 14th. Food contributions from students, faculty and staff without current fines or overdue materials are also welcomed.
All food items collected will be donated to the local Loaves & Fishes charitable organization.
