Food for Fines is back!
Bring non-perishable food to any Hutt City Library from 1-31 October and wipe your fines.
Every item goes to your local food bank and you'll get $5 removed from your library account.
Last time we ran Food for Fines during December 2016 and wiped $21,364.05 off library accounts - that's a lot of food going to our local food banks!
Don't have fines but still feeling generous? Drop off items to any of our libraries and we'll pass it on to our local food banks!
