On my last visit to the St. Johns County Public Library in Ponte Vedra I noticed an interesting sign. In lieu of cash, the library was accepting non-perishable food as payment for overdue fines.Food for Fines allows patrons to bring one sealed non-expired, non-perishable food item to the library in exchange for each $1.00 in overdue fines. All food collected during Food for Fines will be given to the St. Johns County Food Bank for local distribution to those in need.
What an innovative way to encourage patrons to 'pay' their fines while supporting the community.
