The Hays Public Library (HPL) is offering people an incentive to give back to the community.  HPL is holding its 2nd Annual Food for Fines from December 8th – 21st.  Patrons can bring non-perishable food items in exchange for forgiven fines.  Each item is worth $1 towards any fees or fines owed to the library.  The food collected will be given to the Community Assistance Center.

Donations can be left in boxes located at the circulation desks on the first and second floors.  There will also be boxes located at the main entrance.

Last year, over 500 food items were donated, forgiving over $500 in fines.  For more information contact Luci Bain at 785.625.9014.
