Ada Public Library to overdue patrons: "All is forgiven next week!"

Posted by Fred Steiner on Thursday, April 10, 2014

It's a deal you can't refuse.

In honor of National Library Week, Sunday to Saturday, April 13 - 19, the Ada Public Library will wipe your slate clean. If you have overdue book fines up to $5, you win.

All you need to do is donate canned goods exchange for your book fine payment during National Library Week, according to Amanda Bennett, library director.

The only fine print is that the food donations don't apply to replacement costs.
