Do you have late fees? When you give, we forgive!

During Fine Free Week, we waive your overdue fines when you donate items like:

  • Non-perishable food itemsĀ 
    • Canned foods (fruits, vegetables, beans, meats)
    • Pasta and rice
    • Peanut Butter
    • Cereal and oatmeal
    • Shelf-stable milk and milk alternatives
  • Hygiene items
    • Toothbrushes and toothpaste
    • Shampoo and conditioner
    • Feminine hygiene products
    • Toilet paper
    • Diapers and wipes

Simply bring your Library Card and donations to your local Branch and talk to staff!

(Please remember that we cannot accept used or opened items. Additionally, this offer applies only to overdue fines; fines for damaged or lost items are not included.)

Fine Free Week takes place three times a year

  • The week before Easter
  • The week before Thanksgiving
  • The week before Christmas

This give-forgive opportunity helps support local food banks and the Little Free Pantry at participating NCPL Branches, making a real difference in our community!
