Library system to collect food
The Berkeley County Library System plans to offer Food for Fines in August and September in response to the current unemployment rate and rising gasoline prices.
Each library will accept nonperishable and non-expired food items. One can/bag/box will waive the equivalent of $1 in overdue book fines.
Each branch will take collected items to the nearest food bank in their respective area.
For more information, contact Ramona L. Grimsley at 723-3800, ext. 4240.
