Faulkner County Library accepting food for fines

— The Faulkner County Library is offering forgiveness of library fines in exchange for food.

The library is collecting nonperishable food items to donate to a local food pantry.

Possible items include tuna fish and small jars of mayonnaise; boxed macaroni and cheese; canned vegetables and fruit; instant oatmeal and grits; and cans of spaghetti sauce, ravioli, soups and stews.

In exchange for a lost or billed item currently on a library account, a school backpack will be accepted.

Food items and backpacks may be delivered to any branch library in Conway, Clinton, Greenbrier, Mayflower, Mount Vernon, Twin Groves or Vilonia through Aug. 21.

For more information, call (501) 327-7482.
