Food for Fines starts Monday!

Did you return a book a little late? Forgot what time your laptop was due? Your chance to pay off those charges and help a good cause is here! Starting March 7 and running through March 28 the University Libraries and the Law Library will be sponsoring their semiannual Food for Fines drive for the Akron-Canton Food Bank.

You can bring in non-perishable food items to pay for your fines. Two food items equal one dollar toward your fines and there is no limit on the number of items you may bring in. This offer cannot be used to pay for billed or lost books.  Food may be dropped off at the Law Library Circulation Desk.

The food goes to the Akron-Canton Food Bank for their Harvest for Hunger Campaign.

  2 nonperishable food items = 1 dollar credit

The Super Six most needed items are boxed cereal, peanut butter, canned tuna, canned vegetables, canned beef stew and canned soup.  Here is a list of more items that are the most needed.
