Cans for Fines! Lose your fines and help the community.

Richard Parfitt from Whakatāne District Council

Whakatāne District Libraries are accepting Cans for Fines from Monday 28 November to Sunday 4 December 2016.

Donate a 410g can of food to have $2.00 taken off your overdue fines. Cans can be delivered to any of the Whakatāne, Edgecumbe, Ōhope or Murupara libraries, and all food collected will be donated to the local food bank, with any pet food being gifted to the Whakatāne SPCA.

Please ensure all cans are not damaged or rusty.

You can donate as many cans as you like but once your applicable overdue fines have been cleared, no credit or cash will be given. The amnesty only applies to fines, not to fees or charges or lost/damaged books.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
