Food for Fines Amnesty in July

As part of our July birthday celebrations Pearl Cove Library Service is offering to waive outstanding fines in exchange for canned food.  For every can of food donated $1 will be waived from any outstanding overdue fines on members records.  Pearl Cove Mayor stated that this was a 'thoughtful,  inventive and clever way to raise community awareness for those in need'.
Each donation will benefit the Street Mission charity, a volunteer organisation which supports the needs of disadvantaged people by providing food, linkages to other charities and offering new experiences.
