Food For Fines Drive Now Underway

The Carpenter Library is now accepting cans of food in lieu of money for patrons who have accumulated overdue fines on their library items over the past year. One can of food is equivalent to $1.00 in library fines. All canned goods will be delivered to the Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest North Carolina. The Food Bank in particular could use cereal, cans of tuna fish and meat products. The Food for Fines drive will end December 31, 2008.
