Look under your beds and in your cupboards for all those lost and forgotten library books – because from 1 March to 31 March Essex Libraries are holding a book amnesty. Return forgotten library books to your local Essex library, mobile library or Thurrock library and you won’t have to pay any late charges. You can also replace lost library cards free of charge too! Visit any Essex library, mobile library or Thurrock library during March to return your items, get a new library card or have any outstanding loan or late charges waived.
It’s not just about books, any library item can be returned as part of the book amnesty.
