The LaFollette Public Library is extending its late fees in exchange for canned food program through December.

It was project that started last year and one that Nancy Green, LaFollette librarian, brought back this year.

Library patrons can have a dollar’s worth of fines forgiven with the donation of an item of nonperishable food.  If less than $1 is owed, one item or can of food, will erase the fine.

“Last year, around $50 was collected in “fines” but several people just brought food by the library to help with the project,” Green said,.  “We got a ton of food,” she said.
