Food for Fines

Did you know that our popular Food for Fines program kicks off on Wednesday? This program runs from April 17-24. During this period, the Library will accept non-perishable food items in exchange for overdue fines.

For each item donated, up to $1 in fines will be cleared. All food items must be non-perishable, in their original packaging, and new (within their “use before” date). Credit for items applies only to overdue fines – sorry, no replacement costs for lost or damaged items will be waived.

All non-perishable food items will be accepted; however, the most useful items to consider donating are coffee, soup and Carnation Instant Breakfast. Limited to Cornwall Public Library cardholders. Patrons who don’t have overdue fees are still welcome to donate items!
