Food for Fines at the Library – The Library System kicks off the 3rd annual “Food for Fines” program on Monday. Food for Fines permits patrons to bring one sealed, non-expired, non-perishable food item to the library in exchange for each $1 in overdue fines. The program will run November 8 – December 22. Last year, more than 10,000 food items were collected, surpassing the 8,000 items collected in 2008. All food collected during Food for Fines will be given to the Health and Human Services food pantry for local distribution to those in need. While Food for Fines is a great way for overdue patrons to balance their accounts, the food drive is not limited. The general public is also encouraged to drop off non-perishable food contributions at any library branch through December 22. The Food for Fines waiver is for library fines only and may not be applied to fees for printing or lost items, nor may it be used as credit against future fines. For more information call Library Administration at (904) 827-6925 or visit http://www.sjcpls.org/.
