(KAIR)--Erase overdue book penalties with “Food for Fines,” going on now at the Atchison Library.
“If you have any sort of fines, you can bring in canned food non-perishables,”
said Atchison Library Director Jacque Slingsby. “You get a dollar off per can or item.”
The food stays local and is donated to the Atchison Salvation Army.
They only ask the food is unexpired.
“There’s no limit on what you can bring in—we had someone recently pay off $20 fine with canned items.”
Slingsby did clarify the food does not cover lost or damaged items.
“It’s a really great way to give back to the community,” Slingsby said. “Fines are something we can forgive easily and it’s a great community partnership.”
“Food for Fines” is going on now until Dec. 30.
