Library putting overdue book fines towards food donations. When the economy is at its worst, libraries are needed most. During this holiday season, Marion County Library hopes to make a difference in another tangible way. Patrons, who are so hungry for knowledge that they turn in their books late and owe overdue fines, will be given an opportunity to feed those who are hungry for food.
From Nov. 18 through Dec. 16 one can of food clears $1 off your overdue fine, 2 cans clears off $2.
The library will donate the food to the Manna House in Mullins and the Marion Church of God Foodbank.
