Fines for Food! National Library Week 2022



National Library Week is traditionally when the Hoodland and Sandy Libraries would hold a food drive called Food for Fines. This year, we are holding Fines for Food. Between Sunday, April 3, and Saturday, April 9, when you make a payment on all or part of your overdue fines we will waive half the amount paid! Every payment made for overdue fines at the Hoodland Library will be donated to Neighborhood Missions and at the Sandy Library, payments will go to the Sandy Action Center.

Only overdue fees will be eligible for this event.

Contest through American Library Association

Tell us by posting to Instagram, Twitter, or on the I Love Libraries Facebook page. Use the hashtag #MyLibrary.  We'll gather all the entries, and one randomly selected winner will receive a $100 Visa gift card. The promotion starts Sunday, April 3 at noon CT and ends on Saturday, April 9 at noon CT. Don’t forget to tag your library!

If you love your library, say it loud and proud: vocal community support helps libraries secure much-needed funding and reminds hardworking library staff that their efforts are appreciated. Participating in the #MyLibrary promotion is a quick, easy way to help your library thrive!
