During the month of February 2016, you can combine a visit to the library with a good deed for those who use food banks in your area.
The Annapolis Valley Regional Library is once
again offering a Food for Fines initiative from February 1-29. Just give us a non-perishable item for the
local food bank and we’ll forgive up to $3.00 in fines. And the really good news is that there is no
limit on the number of fines which can be forgiven! Do you
owe $8.50? Three food items will take
care of that. Please note that Food
For Fines applies to fines only, not other fees like lost books or
printing costs.
- peanut butter
- pasta
- canned sandwich meats
- healthy school snacks (like fruit cups)
- laundry and dish detergents, soap
So, if you have library fines to pay off, or even if you don’t, stop by the library with a food bank item or two during February. Through Food for Fines you can help make a difference for hungry families in your area.
