Once again the Libraries is offering an opportunity for members of the campus community to reduce their library fines at the end of the semester while doing good for others. “Food for Fines” will run from Friday, April 25, through the end of the spring 2025 semester. It will begin on Friday, April 18, for the Law Library to accommodate the College of Law’s academic calendar.
All Libraries’ patrons with overdue circulation fines can reduce their fines by donating healthy, nonperishable food and hygiene items. Donations will be accepted at the circulation desks of Bird, Carnegie, Law, Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial, and King + King Architecture Libraries. All collected items will be donated to the Coach Mac Food Pantry at Hendricks Chapel. Fine reductions exclude interlibrary loan and lost book fees. Contributions from people without current fines will also be accepted.
Fines will be reduced by 50 cents for single serve items, and $1 per item for toilet paper, rice, pasta, canned vegetables and beans and single serving oatmeal. Fines will be reduced by $2 per item for liquid soap, toothbrushes, canned fruit, canned meats/fish, canned soup, cereal, lip balm and pasta sauce. Fines will be reduced by $3 per item for baked beans, multi-packs of hot chocolate, multi-packs of oatmeal, peanut butter, ramen noodles, shampoo/conditioner, tea and toothpaste. Fines will be reduced by $4 for granola, jelly and lotion. And fines will be reduced by $5 for coffee and deodorant. Contributions should not be open or expired.
