Food for Fines Now Available!
For each non-perishable food item you donate to the library, we will waive one dollar ($1) off of your account. The food benefits the local food bank and you will benefit by removing your fines and giving to a worthy cause. What could be better? Food for Fines Starts November 1st. We will not waive fines associated with lost or damaged items.
