It’s Food for Fines during the month of December 2021.

For each item you donate to our local food pantry at the library, we'll forgive $1 of your fine for overdue materials.

Fines happen. Whether it’s a book that slid under the car seat during the drive to the library or a movie that never made it back into its case; many of us owe a dollar or two (or more!) to the library. However your fines happened, we’d like to help you clear your account.

We are pleased to be offering our annual Food for Fines campaign! Every canned good or non-perishable food item you bring to your library during the month of December 2021, we will reduce your existing fines or hold fees by one dollar. (Food for Fines cannot be used toward fees for lost or damaged materials, lost card fees, or other charges.)

All food will be donated to the Hamilton Food Pantry. Shelf-stable foods such as canned fruits, vegetables and meats, dried beans, brown rice, quinoa, low sugar cereals, baby food, formula, and vegetarian items will be accepted as donations. Unfortunately, we cannot accept home-canned items, opened foods, or foods past their expiration dates. No fines, but still want to get involved? No problem! All patrons are welcome to drop off donations at our library during this program.
