Next week from Monday through Saturday, Dec. 14-19, Bluffton Public Library invites its patrons to participate in its “Food for Fines” incentive program.
Here's how it works:
When patrons stop by the front desk with a non-perishable food item, they will receive a dollar off their library fines. BPL requests items that do not expire until well after the holidays so local families in need can make use of all donations.
