“Food for Fines” Amnesty at the Library

In celebration of Thanksgiving 2011, the Bloomfield Public Library will be offering a “Food for Fines” amnesty from November 28 to Dec ember 2, 2011.

    Any patrons who return overdue books, CDs, DVDs, videocassettes or audio books during the amnesty period may clear their fines by bringing in one food item per overdue charge.  Food will be donated to the United Way for distribution to local food pantries.

    This amnesty applies only to current fines due on Bloomfield Public Library materials returned during the amnesty week.  Previously accrued fines and charges for items lost, damaged, or borrowed from another library are not included.  

    For the safety of those who need this food, please do not bring in any spoiled, opened, or expired food or anything in a glass container. 

    Thank you for helping your neighbors and your library by participating in the  Food for Fines Amnesty at Bloomfield Public Library.
