Food For Fines – An event brought to you by the AMS and the UBC Library.

Pay off your library fines with food instead of cash! Clean out your cupboards before leaving for the holiday AND clean up your library debt at the same time. All borrowers are eligible, whether they are students, staff, alumni, faculty, or community members.

From November 29th to Dec 3rd, 2004, all borrowers with library fines are eligible for fine waivers. For every non-perishable food item you donate, $2 of your fine will be waived to a maximum of $20. All donations will be given to the
Greater Vancouver Food Bank Society.
