Food for Fines 2019

‘Tis the season for giving thanks!

In celebration of Thanksgiving and in preparation for Christmas, the Dover Public Library is bringing back the popular Food for Fines program.

November 23 – 30, we will be accepting donations of nonperishable food items to benefit T-4-C’s “Share-A-Christmas” program. During the drive, library patrons who bring in food items will receive a waiver on overdue fines. One food item will waive up to $1 in fines, up to $5 a day!

All food items must be unopened and must carry their original packaging and labels. The library cannot accept home-canned or home-prepared food, nor items that have reached their expiration dates.

This program will not waive fees for lost or damaged materials.

Donate to a good cause and clear your library account!
