This fall, Collins Memorial Library and the Emergency Food Network are co–sponsoring Food for Fines. Pay off your library fines with food instead of cash, Nov. 12 – Dec. 2. Donate to a worthy cause AND clean up your library debt at the same time.
Bring in 1 can of food and we will waive $1.00 of your library fines (for returned items). That’s right! $1 per can! NO LIMIT!
