Amnesty April 2019
For the month of April, you are able to make a donation of a non-perishable food or toiletry item to either Port or South Library to forgive any outstanding Library fees you may have. If you've forgotten to return items in the past, this is a great opportunities to contribute to a local charity and have your fines forgiven. All items donated will go to the Hedland Women's Refuge. It's also a great opportunity to re-engage with the libraries if you haven't visited us in a while. We hope to see you soon!
