Library offers amnesty for fines in exchange for food shelf items

February is National Library Lovers month and we at the Library are sharing the love. Monday, Feb.11 through Saturday, Feb. 16 will be Fine Amnesty week. Anyone who brings in an item for the Salvation Army food shelf will be able to get their library fines cleared.

Found a DVD hiding under the couch? Bring it in along with a food item such as a jar of peanut butter, and get overdue fines cleared. Items especially needed by our local food shelf are peanut butter, hearty soups such as split pea or vegetable beef, canned meats, boxed meals, and cereals.
