Food for Fines Bring in a food item and we’ll take $1 off your library fines. We’re collecting healthy and convenient non-perishables like tuna, canned fruit, and cereal, for local food pantries. Food we are not accepting: expired food, opened food, unlabeled food, ramen noodles, kool-aid envelopes, repackaged food, glass jars and perishable food.

Libraries have historically served as our nation’s great equalizers. The strength of libraries has always been the diversity of their collections and commitment to serving all people. First sponsored in 1958, National Library Week is a national observance sponsored by the American Library Association and libraries across the country each April. This National Library Week, join our nation’s libraries and librarians by celebrating the place where we all belong.
