Do you owe book fines in the library? Would you like to clear those fines and do a good deed -- all at the same time? Well, now's your chance!
The William A. Blakley Library, along with Campus Ministry are sponsoring the 5th annual Food for Fines. From April 8 - 18th, patrons of the William A. Blakley Library are invited to help the community and themselves by donating non-perishable food items in lieu of paying library fines. Donated items will benefit the St. Jude's Catholic Church food pantry.
For each non-perishable food donation you make, we'll reduce your fines by $1, to a maximum of $50. Just bring your donations to the Circulation Desk at any time during regular hours.
Soup, canned meats, canned vegetables and fruits, cereals, dried fruits, canned juices, paper and cleaning products, personal hygiene products (soaps, toothpaste, etc.) evaporated and powdered milk, peanut butter, macaroni & cheese, baking mixes, pasta, and rice are particularly needed.
Food for fines is only good on overdue fines. Lost book charges, TexShare fines, or other fees associated with your library account are not eligible.
For more information, please contact Cherie Hohertz, Access Services Librarian, at 972-721-5040 or via email.
