Donate to those in need, while eliminating your library fines.
HNPL is accepting canned good donations. At the end of the month, all items will be given to Angels' Attic Food Pantry. As a bonus, for every canned good donated, we will give those a $1 credit (per item) towards their current late-fee fines. It's food for fines! Keep this information in mind when paying off fines with canned goods:
-Canned
goods and packaged foods are acceptable. -Disposable diapers and baby wipes count too. -Laundry detergent and paper towels may be donated. -Items must be unopened and undamaged. -No expired items will be accepted. -Nutritional foods only, no junk food or Kool-Aid. -Glass containers are NOT accepted.
Please note that the HNPL Food Drive cannot be used to pay for lost or damaged items.

Tip of the Month
We know it can be exciting to dive into a good story, but please make sure you handle your borrowed books with care. Others can't enjoy the book if it's damaged. Please ensure that the books you check out are properly looked after. Thank you!
