Greetings!

All you need is love, right?  Not for many members of our community, lacking the resources to feed their families.  This Valentine's Day, why not use the power of love to help those in need?  

In the spirit of love, the Winnetka-Northfield Public Library District will sponsor Food for Fines, February 1-14.  For every item you donate, the library will erase $1 in Winnetka-Northfield library fines.   

Food donations must be non-perishable and in non-glass containers.  All donations will go to the New Trier and Northfield Township Food Pantries.

On Valentine's Day, the library is making a giant human heart of people helping people.  Everyone who brings a can of food can be a part of the library's giant human heart, which will be photographed and displayed in the library. The size of the heart depends on you, so bring a can of food and join us! In case of inclement weather, the project will take place inside the Winnetka Main Library. More
