AUGUST 20-27, 2000

The Williamsburg and James City County Libraries will be accepting new school supplies as payment for overdue fines from August 20 through 27, 2000. A package of school supplies will erase the fine for one overdue item. An overdue item can be a video, cassette, CD or book. However, fees for lost of damaged items will not be covered by a donation.

Suggested donations include: three-ring binders, pocket folders, composition books, #2 pencils, black or blue pens, erasers, crayons, colored pencils, markers, highlighters, spiral notebooks, glue, rulers, scissors and loose leaf paper, etc. All donations must be unused and in their original packaging. No single small items (i.e, a pencil or a few sheets of paper) will be accepted.

Collected school supplies will be donated to local organizations for distribution to children in need. The "Erase Your Fines" program is valid August 20-27 only. There is no limit on the amount of fines waived or the quantity of materials returned. Please call (757) 259-7753 for further information.
