Food For Fines (Rutherford County Library System)

Mar 24, 2022 at 07:43 pm by WGNS


Sun-Sat (April 3-9, 2022) all day:  Rutherford County Library System’s Food for Fines Week is April 3 - 9, 2022. Overdue fines keeping you from using the public library? Take care of them with canned goods from your pantry! For one week, patrons of the library system will have the option to bring in canned goods to pay off library fines. Not only will you be getting rid of some fines, but you will be helping your neighbor, too.  During National Library Week (April 3 - 9), every branch of the Rutherford County Library System will be collecting food donations. Smyrna’s collection will go to the Nourish Food Bank, Eagleville’s to the Eagleville Community Center Food Bank, while Linebaugh, MGL and the TEC will collect for The Salvation Army.  Bring your canned goods to front desk, and staff will waive your fines for overdue items. Charges for lost or damaged items or referral fees cannot be waived. Each can donated will waive one dollar in fines. Please bring only new, unopened cans within expiration date. No fines? You can help out and make a food donation anyway.
