City Libraries announce Fine-Free Week for young readers

BOOKS by the beloved children's author Jeff Kinney, author of the Wimpy Kid series, are the books that public library patrons tend to forget to hand in on time.

- JELLYBEAN JOURNAL REPORTER

Now City Libraries have announced a fine free week for patrons up to the age of 17 during the week of Monday, June 30 - Saturday, July 5, 2025.

The amnesty applies at every City of Cape Town public library. Patrons may return the items to any library, regardless of where they were borrowed.

"The Fine Free week during the school holiday is a wonderful opportunity for young readers to return books and to enjoy the many activities at libraries.

"It is also an opportunity for learners to join and become a member at their nearest library.

"Our libraries are popular knowledge centres to visit with family and friends and we sincerely hope that late items will be returned so that other patrons and new members also have an opportunity to enjoy a returned item.
