The Mary Willis Library and all libraries in the Bartram Trail Regional Library system will be accepting canned or boxed foods in place of fines owed for overdue books, videos and audiocassettes from December 1 through December 17.

All library users who owe fines or have materials out past their due date are encouraged to submit nonperishable foods instead of money to pay the fines.

Users may bring in one can or package of food for each dollar or portion of a dollar in fines. However, food cannot be used to pay for lost or damaged items or for photocopies.

Food collected at the Mary Willis Library will be given to a local food pantry for distribution.
