Food for Fines
The 2017 six-week campaign will begin on March 20th and run through April 28th
Got a slew of library fines? You may be able to eliminate some of those costs and do some good at the same time.
The Huntington Woods is participating in a program entitled “Food for Fines” starting March 20th. The idea is to allow fines to be waived if patrons come in with non-perishable food to donate for those in need.
Starting March 20 through April 28, Huntington Woods patrons can bring in donated items. Once they bring in items the library will clear overdue fines. The library cannot accept food donations for lost items.
The program is one done by several groups of libraries in the metro Detroit area, though specific terms or fine forgiveness vary by community. The food donated will head to Gleaners Community Food Bank of Southeast Michigan once collected, where it will go to help those in need. Last year, the program collected more than 8,400 lbs. of food for the food bank, according to a letter from The Library Network.
It’s an important program, because it helps a local group with donations at a time of year when charitable giving tends to be done at a lower rate.

Unaccompanied Adults
During children’s programs parts of the Library are reserved for children, their parents or responsible adult caregivers. No adult (with the exception of staff and City personnel) may register to attend a children’s program, or be admitted to a children’s program, unless accompanied by a child. Out of concern for the safety of young patrons, adults who are unaccompanied by a child or children in the children’s program area may be questioned by staff, and may be asked to leave the area.
