The Cape Girardeau Public Library will accept canned and dried foods for overdue fines the entire month of December. This does not apply to replacement costs of materials or other library fees. The food value is 50 cents per item.
The food will be donated to FISH, which will distribute it to the local families the organization helps.
Even if you don't owe a fine, the library will welcome food donations.
