For the third year in a row, the Dearborn Library is offering a Food for Fines program, which will run August 6-17, with all items donated given to the Dearborn Firefighters for distribution to needy local families through the Burn Drive program.

Library patrons may donate non-perishable, non-expired food items and receive $1 reduction in overdue library fines for every item donated.

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

While there is no limit on the number of items donated nor to the amount of fines cleared, it can only be used for overdue items.

Patrons cannot use the donation program to pay for lost items or any damaged items.

Check at any Dearborn Public Library for further information.
