The Dearborn Library this summer is once again offering a Food for Fines program, giving  patrons a $1 reduction in overdue book fines in exhange for donating a non-perishable, non-expired food item.

Patrons may donate non-perishable, non-expired food items from Aug. 1 – 12.

All Dearborn Libraries will be accepting canned or boxed food items in exchange for reductions in overdue library fines.

There is no limit on the number of items donated nor amount of fines cleared, but the donation can only be used for overdue library materials. Patrons cannot apply the donation program to pay for lost or damaged materials.

All donated food will be given to the Dearborn Firefighters for distribution to families in need through the Burn Drive program.

Check any Dearborn Public Library for further information.
