The Eagle Pass Public Library informs the public in general that they are conducting a month-long activity to coincide with National Library Week which is April 14-20, 2013.

Rafael Chancey informed The News Gram that there will be no late fees or penalties for the entire month of April on late books or materials checked out of the library all month.

"Late fees on your account are taken off once you turn in late material," added Chancey.

In reference to the subsequent renovation and improvements to the library to conform to ADA standards and to make access easier to historical files and materials up stairs, Chancey said that the city's Planning Department is working with an architect and are hoping for a September start to the upgrades.

"Today’s libraries can help you and your family discover a new and exciting world through collections, digital resources and more. Whether you come for homework or job searches, help with citizenship issues or finances, adult education classes or to find the best books  for young readers, libraries are a great place to spend quality time and connect with loved ones and friends," says Caroline Kennedy, daughter of the late great US President John F. Kennedy.
