Once again, the William Allen White Library is kicking off Food for Fines! The promotion that benefits the Salvation Army Food Pantry and at the same time helps reduce or eliminate your library fines! So how does this work? It's easy! Bring non-perishable canned goods and packaged items to the Circulation Desk of W.A.W, located in the lobby, in exchange for your library fines. One food item equals $1.00 in fines and you can pay off up to $30 in fines!
So when can you start bringing items?
We will begin the collection on Monday, April 27th and go through May 22nd!
There is one small catch; food cannot be used to pay off replacement costs for damaged or un-returned materials or for processing fees. Also, there are a few requirements that include the following:
Requirements for donations:
--Only non-perishable canned goods and packaged items are accepted.

Last, but certainly not least... you don't have to have a fine to participate! Donations are gladly taken to the Salvation Army Food Pantry! Last time, we collected approximately 1,183 items. Let's see if we can beat that this time around! So get busy, go shopping, and have some fun participating in Food for Fines!
