Ee "A Family Tradition for 130 Years" Food for Fines will collect for local food bank By Chris Hall Port Perry Star Avid readers who are a "little bit late" with* returns are being given a break by the Scugog Memorial Public Library during the next two weeks, Starting this week, users will be able to pay the library with a can instead of cash during the two week amnesty period which ends Dec. 14. Dubbed "Food For Fines", the promotion sees users bring in non- perishable food items to pay for overdue materi- als. Cash donations will also be accepted. While there is no set goal for its second year, Tom Bonanno, CEO of the library, hopes to improve on the $300 and 15 boxes of food they received in their inau- gural campaign last year. "Instead of having an having two weeks were people can bring in non- perishable food items for their fines or they can still pay cash," said Mr. Bonanno. He added, though that this does not apply to lost items: "If you lost a $60 book and bring in a one-dollar can of spaghetti, it does- n't work." Mr. Bonanno said the program does not include late materials that have already been sent out for collection by an out- side agency. All food and cash col- lected during the next two weeks will be donat- ed to the Operation Scugog Christmas Food Hamper Program. Anyone interested in paying for overdue mate- rial or just making a donation can do so at the Scugog Memorial Public Library at 231 Water St.t in Port Perry between Monday and Saturday during regular business Teachers at Cartwright High School got a les: on how to get on the Internet last week when Computer School Bus came to Blackstock Sponsored by Laidiaw Bus Lines, IBM and Public School Boards Association, the bu equipped with six computers.
