Savannah, GA, September 7, 2022 - Live Oak Public Libraries is hosting Food for Fines, a fee amnesty and food drive program, running throughout September during Library Card Sign-up Month. The initiative is offered as a goodwill effort to help the community, reduce barriers to library use, and increase access to library resources.
All 16 Live Oak Public Libraries (LOPL) locations across Chatham, Effingham, and Liberty Counties will accept nonperishable food items from patrons as an alternate form of payment for overdue fees on LOPL materials. The community may donate food items even if they do not have overdue fees. Donations will not be credited towards future fees.
All food items must be nonperishable, unopened cans or packages in good condition and within 90 days before their expiration date. Each food item will be assigned a $2.00 value. The maximum donation will be 15 food items for $30.00 in waived overdue fees.
Food for Fines will continue until September 30, 2022. Collected food items will be donated to the following community organizations:
Live Oak Public Libraries continues to adapt and expand services to meet the evolving needs of the community. Just as Library Card Sign-Up Month invites new visitors to check out their local library, Food for Fines encourages current and past patrons to come back to the library and see all we have to offer.
