Food for Fines

To celebrate National Library Week (I bet you didn't know it existed), Allen and Mortensen Libraries will be holding a Food for Fines week, starting Monday (4/13) and ending Sunday (4/19). This will be an opportunity for you to cut back on how much you owe us while helping the community at the same time. For every non-perishable item you bring in (such as canned goods), we will forgive $2.00 in fines. These fines could be old ones or new ones generated from returning an overdue item. We will, of course, also accept donations from those of you with no fines on your account. All of the food we receive will be donated to local food pantries. The only fines that won't be forgiven are those already billed to the bursar or those for Lost Items that have not been returned. So, if you want to do some good while lowering your fines at the same time, drop by sometime next week and bring in some food (non-perishable, of course)!
