Pay off library fines with food donations

Have you driven up fines for overdue books?  You can solve the problem while also helping a good cause.

          Reddick Library in Ottawa is doing a “Food for Fines Week” starting Monday and running thru Sunday.  Every non-perishable food item you bring into the library this week you can knock off a dollar of library fines. 

          Library Director Kathy Clair says plenty of people can use this chance to cut into their fines.

           Even if you don’t have fines, Clair says you can still bring in food.  The food’s being donated to the Ottawa Food Pantry.
