Celebrate National Library Week with Food for Fines

Courtney Flesch

By: Courtney Flesch on April 12, 2016 Print This Post

From now until Saturday April 16th bring in canned or dried goods to the Kirkwood Public Library to pay for fines.  One can or boxed good is equivalent to $1 and we will accept goods for up to $20 in fines. Last year we waived a total of $340 in fines and collected 402 food items. All donations will go to support Kirkcare which helps feed and support those in need in the Kirkwood R-7 School District. No expired food, glass, or damaged cans will be accepted. Only Kirkwood overdue fines will be waived. Thank you for helping us support the community. We also have a new food donation receptacle for Kirkcare located in our lobby area, so you can donate all year long.

Our new drop box for donating food all year long!
