Evansville Vanderburgh Public Library cardholders that have accrued fines can “pay†them off while helping to feed the hungry in our community during Food for Fines. The annual program will run November 16 through December 15.
For each canned or boxed food item a cardholder donates, their overdue fines will be reduced by $1. The maximum amount waived is $10. Food donated will go to the Evansville Rescue Mission and the Emergency Food Pantry Coalition.
Fees for Interlibrary Loan, lost or damaged items, or collection balances are not eligible to be waived.
To have an account credited, items can be taken to the Check Out desk at any EVPL location.
In 2014, more than 10,248 pounds of food were collected during Food for Fines.
