Food for fines

Congratulations to all of you who took advantage of the library's Food for Fines program. 

 

Not only were you able to remove up to $15 in library fines in exchange for your non-perishable food items, but you also helped collect more than 132 boxes of food and other vital items that were donated to families in need through Interfaith Community Services!

 

Did you miss the holiday Food for Fines? Never fear...we will be offering this amazing opportunity again in July so stay tuned to your e-newsletter for more info.
