fvrlThe Fraser Valley Regional Library is going to be wrapping up their “Food for Fines” program this weekend, so you still have time to get those overdue books returned and help the food bank at the same time. Scott Hargrove tells us, for every item you bring in for the food bank, they’ll knock $2 off your late fees, up to a maximum of $30.

“We have in fact waived over $16,000 in fines for many many people’s accounts. And of course that means we’ve been able to donate a tremendous amount to the local food banks. Whatever city you live in, if you donate to that library, it will go to local community food banks.”

He says the program started on December 16th, and they wanted to extend it into January to help the food banks after their shelves were cleaned out over the holiday season. You have until Sunday to take part.
