FOOD FOR FINES

Penfield Library 2008 Food Drive


Pay off your library fines with food instead of cash! Clean out your cupboards before leaving for the Thanksgiving break AND clean up your delinquent account with the library at the same time! (Money owed to the library will prevent you from registering for classes, or receiving your grades or transcripts.)

One food item = $1 in fines

 Each item of food will cancel $1.00 or less for any fine
Fine of $4.00 = 4 food items
Fine of $4.25 = 5 food items
 Ramen noodles accepted as 4 packages = $1.00
 Only unopened, pre-packaged food will be accepted
 NO GLASS
 No perishable food
 No food in damaged packaging
 Actual cost of food will not be considered in canceling fines
 Food accepted for fines only, NOT for lost book charges
 Any food donations will also be gratefully accepted

EXAMPLES OF ACCEPTED FOOD ITEMS

Canned fruits or vegetables soup canned meat or fish
pork & beans jelly peanut butter

All proceeds will be donated to the Human Concerns Food Pantry. Any fine money collected during this time will be deposited in regular library accounts. For more information, email circdesk@oswego.edu, ask at the Circulation Desk, or call 312-2560
