“Love Your Library: Food for Fines” continues at the library through Feb. 28.

Through the end of the month patrons can clear overdue fines from their library cards by donating nonperishable food items for people or pets. This amnesty does not apply to charges for lost or damaged items.

At the Coeur d’Alene library an overdue fine of $3 or more can prevent patrons from checking out items or using the Internet computers.

Donations brought in during “Food for Fines” will be turned over to the Community Action Partnership Food Bank and the Kootenai Humane Society.

Food donations will also be accepted from patrons with no fines to clear up. Call 208/769-2315 for more information.
