Food for fines set at Choctaw County Library
November is “Food for Fines” month at Choctaw County Library System.
In preparation for the holiday season, CCLS is partnering with Choctaw County Food Ministry as a drop off point for food donations. As a bonus, any patron who donates canned and/or nonperishable food at the library and returns their overdue books will have their library fines “paid off” and zeroed out.
There are food donation drop-off boxes in both the Ackerman Branch and Weir Library Branch.
For any further information or questions, the Choctaw County Library System Board of Trustees approved Fine Forgiveness Policy is available upon request in the Ackerman Library and staff will be happy to answer any questions.
To submit an event to the calender please email event to reporter@choctawplaindealer.com.
To insure printing in the upcoming week’s edition email by Friday at 5 prior to the Wednesday printing.
