MARQUETTE, MI-- Peter White Public Library patrons who owe late fines may now pay them with food.
The library is partnering with the TV6 Canathon to help feed hungry neighbors by serving as a collection point for non-perishable food items through December 7th.
As a donation incentive the library is offering Food for Fines. It allows patrons to resolve overdue fines or get a free film rental with a donation to the Canathon. Each item will reduce fines by a dollar or get you a free movie.
In previous years Peter White collected more than 1,600 pounds of food, which was donated to local food banks.
