Food For Fines
November 1 - 30, 2009
From November 1 thru 30, Henry County Library patrons are able to "pay" their overdue fines with cans of green beans, tuna or tomatoes. Any overdue item can be returned and the fines accrued may be removed with a donation of non-perishable food items. For over twenty years this amnesty period has offered library patrons an alternative way to clear their current overdue fines. Peanut butter, boxed pasta, fruit and beans are all nutritious and welcome items. All canned/dried foods collected are sent to the Samaritan Center for distribution to area families.
This promotion does not apply to collection fees or previously returned materials. To make sure fines are removed from the correct patron record, donations and returned items should be taken to the Circulation desk.
For more information you can contact us at 660-885-2612 or toll free at 1-866-CALL HCL.

Service memorabilia needed for display case
For several years, the Henry County Library has reserved the gallery display case for the Month of November. Each year Marsha sends out a request to the service people in the area asking for items to build a Veteran's Day display to honor our service men and women. So, if you are currently, or have in the past served in any branch of the military, please consider bringing us your pieces of history. The glass case is kept locked for security and every precaution is taken to keep your items safe. If you have any questions please contact Marsha Evans at 660-885-2612 or call 1-866 CALL HCL toll free.
If you have a collection you would like to show in the display case,
contact Marsha Evans at the Henry County Library.
Most displays will occupy the case for two months.
