News Detail

Memorial Library is offering a unique way for students to pay overdue fines while helping a local charity.

The Food for Fines program runs from May 1 through May 12. Students may pay their fines by donating non-perishable, unopened, unexpired food in cans, boxes and plastic jars. Students will receive $1 off their overdue fine balance for each item of food donated. Replacement costs for lost or damaged books are excluded from this program. Those who do not have fines but wish to donate food may do so as well.

Donations will be accepted during business hours at The Help Center in Memorial Library. The food will be delivered to Cortland Loaves & Fishes.

For more information on how to donate, visit The Help Center, call 607-753-2500 or email thc@cortland.edu.
