HOUGHTON -- The Portage Lake District Library is continuing its Food for Fines program through the month of January. Patrons can pay up to $10 in overdue fines by bringing non-perishable food items to the library. The food will be donated to local food pantries.
Patrons are encouraged to bring small, individual-sized portions for recipients of Little Brothers Friends of the Elderly programs. Large family-size packages and canned goods will be donated to the Salvation Army and St. Vincent de Paul. Foods that have reached the expiration date or are close to it will not be accepted.
The Food for Fines program is for overdue fines only and does not include money owed to the library for lost or damaged materials.
Those who wish to contribute food yet have no library fines are welcome to do so. All donations will be immensely appreciated.
The library staff thanks everyone who is participating in the Food for Fines program. For more information, please call the library at 482-4570 or visit www.pldl.org.
