Fines happen. Whether it's a book that slid under the car seat during the drive to the library or a movie that never made it back into its case, many of us owe a dollar or two (or more!) to the library.
However your fines happened, we are pleased to be offering our third annual Food for Fine campaign!
Every canned good or non-perishable food item you bring to your library October 22–29 will reduce your existing fines or hold fees by one dollar. (Donations cannot be used towards other fees.) The Food for Fines program is part of our support for Montgomery County’s Community Service Week.
All food will be donated to the Manna Food Center. Shelf-stable foods such as canned fruits, vegetables and meats, dried beans, brown rice, quinoa, low sugar cereals, baby food, formula, and vegetarian items will be accepted as donations. Unfortunately, we cannot accept home-canned items, opened foods, or foods past their expiration dates.
No fines, but still want to get involved? No problem! All customers are welcome to drop off donations at our branches during this program.
Visit our website to find your closest branch and plan your donation.
