Leddy Library accepting food as payment for fines

The Leddy Library’s Food for Fines program allows students to pay their library fines for overdue materials with non-perishable, unexpired food items. From April 4 to 22, students are able to receive a $2 credit towards their fines for each item brought in.

The effort is run by the library’s access services staff, which will donate contributions to a local food bank. There are a few restrictions: each student can redeem a maximum of $50 and cannot gain additional credit to pay off future fines.

Food items should be brought to the circulation desk, located just inside the library’s front doors.
