December 5, 2011 – Evansville, IN – Are there fines on your library card that need to be cleared? The Evansville Vanderburgh Public Library is still collecting non-perishable food items for Food for Fines, now through December 19th.

To date, 8,204 pounds of food have been collected, with a goal of collecting 15,000 pounds.

During Food for Fines, library card fines will be reduced by $1 for each non-perishable food item you donate, with a maximum of $10 waived. Canned and boxed items will be accepted, and all food donated will go to the Tri-State Food Bank.

Help feed the hungry, and reduce your fines at the same time. To have your account credited, bring food items to the Check Out desk at any EVPL location.
