"Trade
Your Fines for Another's Feast" |
Thanksgiving is a time of abundance for many, but some local families may go without this time of year. The Williamsburg Regional Library will offer its patrons a chance to trade their library fines for another’s feast as it renews its popular "Food for Fines" program. Williamsburg and James City County Libraries will be accepting canned and dry goods as payment for overdue fines from November 12 - 19, 2000. One canned or dry good (cake mix, can of green beans, etc.) will cover the fine for one overdue item. An overdue item can be a video , cassette, CD, or book. Fees for lost or damaged items will not be covered by a food donation. You may also donate food items if you have no fines to pay, but would like to help. Collected food will be donated to local charities for distribution to families in need. The Food for Fines program is valid November 12 through 19 only. There is no limit on the amount of fines waived or the quantity of materials returned. Please call Amy Ford at 259-7753 for more information.
Suggested Food Donations: cereal, canned soup, instant potatoes, stuffing mix, pie crust mix, cranberry sauce, gravy, jello, canned juice, canned vegetables, evaporated milk, canned fruit, peanut butter, canned meat, crackers, rice, pasta, spaghetti sauce, etc.
