Food For Fines ~ December 1-24

Chula Vista Public Library will accept qualifying food donations in lieu of library fines for the month of December at all three branches.

Each guest may have up to $10 in fines cleared off of their card. Each "qualifying" item brought in will count towards $1 in fines.

Food For Fines may not be used to pay for lost/damaged materials or collection agency fees.

Qualifying foods are nonperishable (i.e., canned food, dried pasta, grains) food that have not passed the expiration date.

Non-nutritious food (candy, chips, peanuts and soda, etc.) and food in damaged containers can not be accepted.

All donations will benefit South Bay Community Services.
