If you have outstanding library fines you can put them to good use by donating them to Christmas Cheer to buy food items for families in need. South Central Regional Library Manitou branch will be  collecting and donating all fine money received (or other cash donations) from their patrons between Wednesday, November 25 and Wednesday, December 3.

Here's how to make a contactless donation:

Place cash in a sealed envelope with your library card number (or name and phone number) inside so we can credit your account with the amount. Please write on the envelope “Fines for Food” so we know you want to donate the amount.

Place the envelope in our returns bin outside the library between November 25 to December 2 during the following times: (Tuesday - 10:00 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., Wednesday and Friday - 10:00 a.m to 5:00 p.m., Thursday - 1:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. and Saturday - 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.)

Don't forget the library continues to offer contactless: returns, holds pick-up, and book selection service.

Check their Facebook page or call or email for details.

Happy Reading!
