As a way to help out the food bank at Clayton Area Ministries during the holiday season, the Hocutt-Ellington Memorial Library downtown is asking residents with library fines to pay with food instead of money.
The Library is asking for one can or box of food for each dollar owed, said Senior Library Associate Debbie Ragland. The Library will be losing a little money and patrons may be giving a little extra for the fines, but this way "everybody's giving a little something" to help those in need, she said.
"We hope this helps us make a difference," Ragland said.
The food drive begins Wednesday and lasts a week, until Wednesday, Dec. 17.
It's a great way to pay off your Library fines, she said. Ragland said the Library would be happy to accept food from those who don't owe fines, too.
