MARCH IS…
FOOD FOR FINES MONTH
Look under the bed, under the car seat, inside the dvd player and find those pesky Library materials. If, along with the overdue item, you bring in some non-perishable food items, we will wipe your slate clean and give your donations to the Truro Food Bank. Help your neighbors and get absolution from the Library. It’s a win-win. Fine Print: Does not apply to missing or lost items and applies to Truro Library patrons only. Limit $5 in fines per visit.
