If you owe a fine at the Chattooga Library, there is a way you can get that fine forgiven.  Next week, the library will be participating in “Food for Fines” to benefit the local food pantry.

“Food For Fines” will take place from October 25 through November 20, the Sara Hightower Regional Library System will be conducting a canned food drive where patrons can donate canned goods to reduce any accrued fines.

Each can that is donated will be worth $2 in reduced fines. All food donations will be given to our local community kitchens. A maximum of $10 can be “paid” with donated food per card.

Perishable, expired, beyond sell by date and homemade food items will not be accepted at any branch location.
