Library fines waived for food donations

Delta County Libraries will host a Food for Fines drive during National Library Week, April 9-14, at each of its libraries. Library patrons will get $1 in current overdue fines waived for each can or package of food donated during the drive.

The donated food will go to each community's local food bank — Surface Creek Food Bank, Crawford Food Bank, Delta Food Pantry, Hotchkiss Community United Methodist Food Cupboard, and the American Legion Food Pantry in Paonia.

The food drive does not include replacement fees for lost or damaged items, card replacement fees, and future overdue fines. No glass containers, open packages, repackaged or expired products will be accepted.

Bring canned goods, or items in boxes or plastic bags or plastic jars to the circulation desk at your library. Don't forget your library card!
