Food for Fines at U of A Libraries Extended to April 30, 2017

University of Alberta Libraries are accepting Food for Fines at all library locations from Monday, March 20 until April 30, 2017.

In partnership with the Campus Food Bank, all donated food items will be distributed to members of the University of Alberta community.

How does it work?

• Visit a service desk in any U of A library location.


• Donate non-perishable food item[s]. Preferred items include canned veggies & fruit, rolled oats, rice, and canned beans. However all non-perishable contributions are welcome.


• For every item donated, you will be waived $5 in overdue fines, to a maximum of $100 [20 items].


• Only current fines on books from most NEOS Libraries will be waived. Some libraries choose not to participate. Charges for lost or damaged books are not eligible.

No fines? Bring a food item in and contribute to the food drive!
