Food for Fines is back at the Chatham-Kent Public Library.

The initiative has been on the (book) shelf for the last four years, but returned Monday and runs until Saturday, patrons can bring in non-perishable food donations to any CKPL branch and in return the library will waive overdue fines. $5 will be waived per donated item to a maximum of $50 and can only be applied for items that were returned late.
