The Williamsburg Regional Library | What's New | Food for Fines

Give from the Heart!
Food for Fines Program Reinstated

The Williamsburg and James City County Libraries will be accepting canned and dry goods as payment for overdue fines from February 11-18, 2001. One canned or dry good (can of vegetables, cake mix, 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.

The Food for Fines program encourages patrons to return valuable materials which otherwise may have been permanently lost from the library's collection. The program also assists families in need, as collected food is donated to local charities. The Food for Fines program is valid February 11 through 18 only. There is no limit on the amount of fines waived or the quantity of materials returned. Please call Amy Ford at 259-7753 if you need further information.
