This event is not just about finding your next great read—it is also about giving books a second life while supporting the library’s mission to promote literacy and community engagement.

Grace Period for Overdue and Damaged Books
In addition, as part of its community-focused initiatives, the library is introducing the first Grace Period of 2025, running from February 1 to February 8, 2025. During this time, all patrons are invited to return overdue or damaged books, no questions asked and without any penalties.

“We hope this grace period encourages patrons to reconnect with the library and helps us recover valuable resources for the benefit of all,” said a library spokesperson.
The library extends a warm invitation to everyone to participate in this dual initiative—whether you are a book lover looking for affordable reads or a patron ready to return long-overdue books. Your support contributes to a vibrant and sustainable library community.
