It's Here: Food for Fines!

Super Bowl Sunday was "Souper Bowl Sunday": we collected over 100 cans of soup as we "kicked off" this new program. Those who owe fines for returning materials late now have an option that also helps others. For the month of February, anyone who owes overdue fines may pay with a can of soup at the rate of one can per dollar owed (for example, $3 due = 3 cans of soup). The library will then donate the soup cans to a local food pantry. Please make sure the cans are not dented or have expired dates. This program is for fines only, not lost items and will continue through the month of February.
