Pay off your library fines with food instead of cash! Clean out your cupboards before leaving for the holiday AND clean up your library debt at the same time.
Bring in 1 can of food and we’ll waive $.50 of your library fines. That’s right! One food item = $.50 in fines
Up to $10.00 in overdue fines will be waived for each donation from the following list of acceptable items:
![]() |
canned fruits or vegetables |
| canned meat, fish, or poultry | |
| canned soup (no packaged soup) | |
| boxed pasta, rice or dried beans | |
| boxed cereal | |
| peanut butter |
|
Only non-perishable, undamaged, unexpired, and labeled items will be accepted. | |
Bring food to the Circulation Desk on the main floor of the library. | |
|
Food accepted for fines on returned items only, not for replacement fees of lost items. | |
|
All the food donated during the drive will be given to the Religious Organization Council for local food bank distribution. | |
|
Additional donations are welcome. | |
