Prepare to rally the Rebels, gather the droids, and chart your course back to McAllen Public Library (MPL) this April! MPL is launching its 10th Annual Amnesty Month, running from April 1 to May 4—a perfect alignment with that most galactic of days, Star Wars Day.
During Amnesty Month, patrons can return any overdue item to any of MPL's three locations, regardless of how long it has been overdue, and have fines removed from their account. This initiative only applies to materials currently checked out, so dust off those traveling companions—books, DVDs, CDs, Blu-Rays—and bring them home to the Library.
Throughout April, families can also enjoy Star Wars–themed photo opportunities at Main Library that will transport you to a galaxy not so far away. On Sunday, May the 4th from 2:00-5:00PM, MPL will host family-friendly activities at Main Library, complete with favorite Star Wars characters. It is the perfect chance to celebrate a fresh start in your reading adventures while paying homage to your favorite Jedi, bounty hunters, and droids.
