Food For Fines "Holiday Edition" - through December 7
There's still time left to eliminate your overdue fines and help support Helping Hand Food Bank in Romulus this holiday season. Bring non-perishable items to the library through December 7 during regular library hours and we will forgive $1.00 in fines on Romulus Library materials for each item that is donated. Food for Fines cannot be used for lost items or collection fees and we cannot accept items that are past the expiration date. Donations will be accepted from those without fines as well. Thank you!
 Donations to the library for programming or other special purchases can now be made online. Please visit our website and click on the Donate button located on the right hand side of the homepage. Then enter your credit or debit card information as prompted. Your gift is tax-deductible. Thank you for your generosity!
