Metropolis Public Library Amnesty Month

May 1 – May 31

May 2024 is Amnesty Month at the Metropolis Public Library!

Have you ever realized you still had an old library book for months, or even years? It happens! Don’t let the fear of fines keep you from getting the most out of your library.

If you have any library materials, no matter how long you’ve had them, return them this month and the late fines will be forgiven, no questions asked.
