Library Amnesty Week: You forgot? We forgive!
Tuesday, January 24th – Tuesday, January 31st, 2012

The Ocean Shores Public Library knows the economy hasn’t improved much… and understands many of our loyal patrons are still experiencing financial difficulties at this time. So, overdue materials can be returned either inside the library or in the outside book drop, no questions asked, and late fees will be forgiven. This is not valid for lost items or replacement charges. Please don’t stop using the Library because of overdue items, the Library has great books, computers and programs for all ages that patrons should be taking advantage of. The Ocean Shores Library also started issuing new, improved library cards in September of 2011, and if you haven’t gotten one of them, we encourage you to do so! For more information, contact the Library at 360-289-3919 or oslibrary@osgov.com.
