Student food bank stocked by Food for Fines

Everybody was a winner at the conclusion of the Leddy Library Food for Fines program which wrapped up December 9.  The Iona College student food bank received 648 canned goods and other food items, and many library patrons were breathing a sigh of guilt-free relief at getting their library materials back to their rightful home.

The program, organized by the Access Services staff, credited each non-perishable, non-expired food item donated at the Leddy’s circulation desk at a rate of $2 off outstanding overdue fines, to a maximum of $50 per person.
