Food for Fines at the Library: A Win-Win

Published by Mark Bodnar

We're at that magical time of the semester when those students in courses with no exams will finish up their last assignments, tease their exam-bound colleagues, and take off for some R&R.

If you're one of those lucky few, consider returning your library books before you leave.  And if you happen to have accumulated some <ahem> fines over the term, maybe drop off some items for the SFU Food Bank to clear your account. :-)

The SFU Library's Food for Fines event is back! From April 1 to 22, you can stop by any SFU Library branch and donate non-perishable food and/or selected non-food items (toothpaste, diapers..) in exchange for a $2 waiver on your fines per item (to a maximum of $30).  See the library's page on the Spring 2013 Food for Fines Drive for more details.

Talk about a win-win situation!
