"Food for Fines" Fourth of July Project
Freedom from Fines & Freedom from Famine
The Delray Beach Public Library located at 100 West Atlantic Avenue, is proud to once again present the "Food for Fines" Fourth of July Project from: Wednesday, July 1, 2009 through Saturday, July 11, 2009. It will have the dual purpose of collecting food for charities as well as allowing the Library to retrieve items from the collection that are past their due date.
If you donate food (canned or packaged) to the Library during this amnesty period, all fines will be forgiven FOR THE LIBRARY ITEMS YOU RETURN WITH THE FOOD. Only those specific items returned during this amnesty period will have fines removed. If you have fines for other items not returned with a food donation, then those fines will remain on your record.
A few key points to remember:
- It does not matter how much food is donated - fines will be forgiven for each library item returned.
- There is no limit. This Food for Fines Project is for all Library items - Books, DVDs, CDs, and Audio Books.
- Even if you donate a single can of food, fines will be forgiven for each item returned, regardless of number.
- Food for Fines returned books and donated food must be brought to the Circulation Desk. The returned Library items will be checked in by staff and fines will be removed for the specific items. It does not matter if the person returning the Library item is the same person that checked the item out originally. The fines will be removed for the item.
For further information please contact the Library Circulation Desk at 561-266-0197. Thank you for your support and Happy Independence Day!
