Throughout the month of March, Danbury Library will waive your overdue fines in exchange for donations of unexpired, unopened canned and packaged foods.
All donated food items will be collected at the Main Floor information desk and passed along to Daily Bread Food Pantry for distribution to community members in need.
Suggestions for non-perishable food items include dried beans, rice, cooking oil, tea and coffee, baby food, breakfast cereal, condiments, sugar, flour, canned soup and vegetables, dry pasta, jelly, peanut butter, and mac ‘n cheese.
As a reminder, please only donate unexpired, unopened items in original packaging. If you wouldn’t share it with your family, please do not donate it to your local food bank.
There is no minimum or maximum donation required. This amnesty program covers fines for late returns, not lost or damaged materials.
Please contact Lending Services Manager Darlene Garrison (203-797-4505 ext. 7707 dgarrison@danburylibrary.org) with questions.
