Fines for Food Day at the Nelson Library
By Nelson Daily Staff
In a bid to turn tardiness into tastiness, the Nelson Library had declared that all fines collected on Monday, Dec. 13 will be donated to the Nelson Food Cupboard.
Mondays are traditionally the busiest day of the week at the library. Late book-returners are invited to wait until Dec. 13 to pay up and benefit the Food Cupboard; penalties for lost or damaged items are not included.
“People from all walks of life use the Library,” said chief librarian June Stockdale. “We’re an important part of the community—and so is the Nelson Food Cupboard. By working together we can fill both bellies and spirits.”
In addition to Fines for Food, the Library will have a food donation bin in the library from Dec. 13-18 for collection of non-perishable food items.
