NORMAN — Libraries in the Pioneer Library System will accept canned food in exchange for a reduction in customers’ library fines starting Monday. The Food for Fines program will run through Dec. 6. The program allows customers to bring in nonperishable food donations and reduce their fines by $1 for each item. There is a $20 limit.

"We think it is a good way to give our customers some relief from any fines that may have accumulated over the year while, at the same time, helping others find more joy during the holidays,” said Anne Masters, director of the Pioneer Library System.

Pioneer’s nine library branches contributed 1.67 tons of food to local pantries and charities last year through the program, library officials said.

The Food for Fines donations apply only to existing library fines. The program does not apply to charges for lost or damaged materials, nor can it be used to settle debts that have been turned over to the library system’s collection agency.

Food items must have current dates and intact labels and be in good condition. Donations will be accepted inside all Pioneer libraries during regular hours.

Card holders can go to www.justsoyouknow.us to check their accounts.
