Food donations are being accepted at all four library branches during normal operation hours. You can donate even if you don't have fines! 

The most sought-after items include:

  • Beans
  • Canned Fruit
  • Canned Tuna
  • Canned Vegetables
  • Cereal
  • Pasta Sauce
  • Peanut Butter
  • Rice
  • Soup
  • Whole Wheat Pasta

Items will not be accepted if they are opened, or are not labeled. We also can't accept homemade food. Thank you for your generosity to those in need!
