Can your fines at the library this holiday season
Library tradition continues
—In the spirit of the holidays, the Paso Robles City Library is again offering patrons an opportunity to serve their community and reduce their overdue fines at the same time.
From Nov. 20 through Dec. 30, the library invites patrons to “can” their fines, forgiving $1.00 in fines for every canned or non-perishable food item they donate (maximum $16 per library card account).
“This program provides an opportunity for families and individuals to help out those in need in our community while paying off overdue fines owed to the Library,” explains City Librarian Angelica Fortin. As in previous years, we will be accepting soup-can or larger-sized cans of soup, chili, fruit and vegetables; 6-ounce-or-larger-sized cans of meat, chicken or seafood; one-pound-or- larger-sized packages of rice or pasta; and boxed family-sized foods such as macaroni and cheese.”
The Paso Robles City Library is located at 1000 Spring Street and is open Monday – Friday 10-8, and Saturday 10-5. For more information on library programs and events, please call (805) 237-3870 or visit www.prcity.com/library.
