July is Amnesty Month for Lynn Students


Students in grades k-12 are being given an amnesty by the Library Board of Trustees. During the month of July, 2009, any billed LYNN item may be replaced with a book from the student's grade's school reading list. The bill will be deleted from the student's account. Full borrowing privileges will be restored.


So don't miss out on all the fun happening at the library this summer! Check your homes carefully for any billed LYNN items. If you can't find it to return it, replace it with a new or gently used summer reading list book.


The library regrets that we cannot accept a donation to replace another library's item.
