Help Us... Help Others October 1 - 31, 2012

The Latt Maxcy Memorial Library will conduct "Food for Fines" during the month of October. "Food for Fines" is a fines amnesty program, which provides patrons the opportunity to "pay" overdue fines with a donation of food to the Library. Non-perishable food collected in this drive will go to the Frostproof Care Center’s Food Pantry Program.

Overdue materials may be returned with at least five non-perishable food items, or outstanding fines owed may be "paid" with the same donation.

The library will accept materials, no matter how long overdue. Overdue materials from any Polk County Library Cooperative site may be returned during "Food for Fines." Lost or damaged materials are exempt from this amnesty program.

Bring your long overdue books and your donated non-perishable food items to the library today and clear your library card. This is a great way to help others in need. For more info. on participating in this program call the library, 863-635-7857.
