| Take back those library books! |
That means library patrons who bring boxed or canned nonperishable food items to one of the libraries receive a $1 credit for each food item toward the reduction of existing overdue fines. The canned and boxed foods will be donated to Harvester's Community Food Network.
The deal lasts through October 24. Harvester's says its most-needed food items include canned meat, peanut butter, canned fruit, canned vegetables and boxed meals. Non-nutritional items such as soda, as well as any beverages in glass or plastic containers, will not be accepted. The Food for Fines program is applicable only to library overdue fines.

I just hope that the people taking advantage of this do so by giving widely and commonly consumed food items, rather than just clearing the back of the cupboard of old creamed corn, yams, hominy and Hoppin' John cans.
