In The Holiday Spirit, Library Offering Fine Forgiveness In Trade For Food Donation
November 14, 2018 at 8:21 p.m.
The Syracuse Library is forgiving overdue fines in exchange for a donation to the food pantry.
A popular seasonal opportunity is offered for people who have fines on Syracuse items that have been returned late. Beginning Monday through Dec. 22, food and nonperishable household items will be converted to a dollar amount and given to the Syracuse Food Pantry.
The library’s hours for the Thanksgiving holiday are to close on Thursday and Friday and open on Saturday. Materials can be returned in the drop box that is on Harrison Street. Additional days are included in the check in date to account for the closing days.
