Starting on May 3rd and continuing until May 15th (Finals Week), students will be able to pay their library fines with non-perishable food items at the Greenspring Campus Library.
Each canned good or food package donated will reduce overdue fines by $1-2.
Only overdue fines will be waived, and not replacement costs of lost items.
The kinds of food items the Library will accept include peanut butter, canned meat or fish, canned beans, stews and soups, canned fruits and vegetables, powdered milk, canned juice, boxed pasta and whole grain cereals. Unacceptable items include can/boxes with expired dates, damaged cans or boxes, ramen noodles, Koolaid or water, perishable food or food in glass jars and candy.
You don’t have to have fines to donate food.
Food will be donated to the Maryland Food Bank.
