Give a little, lose a debt!
Food for Fines is a new initiative to be trialled at the City Campus (Blake Library) and Kuring-Gai Campus Library from Monday 7 to Friday 18 December 2009.
Fines exist in the Library because they have proven the most effective way to encourage borrowers to return material so that others can have access to them. However in the spirit of the festive season, we're offering you the chance to reduce or clear your fine AND help others at the same time.
The Food for Fines Campaign gives you the opportunity to hand over non-perishable food items and in return you will be able to reduce, or clear your fines. Items accepted will be canned food, jars and packeted food (no confectionery). Items must not be damaged and the expiry date must not be before June 2010. Donated food must be handed in at the Loans/Enquiries Desk at either Blake Library or the Kuring-gai Campus Library.
For each item donated $3 will be deducted from your fines.
A maximum of $30 (ie 10 items) can be claimed.
ALL donations will be given to Mission Australia, a local charity renowned for helping people who are homeless, unemployed or living in poverty.
This is your chance to give just a little and reduce or clear your library fines and at the same time contribute to someone else's chance to have a happier Christmas, so get on board!
Even if you have no fines you are welcome to contribute food items to this worthy cause.
