Food for fines stocking shelves in library, food banks
Gerard Creces
Clinton News -Record
Got an overdue book that
you've been meaning to
return but just haven't had
the time? The Huron County
Library is collecting for local
food banks from November
18-24, as part of its Food for
Fines program.
All library branches, will
be accepting donations to
the food bank in lieu of
library fines on a basis of
one donation per overdue
book.
Branch Services Librarian
Jennifer Zoethout noted that
all donations stay within the
community they are col-
lected in.

your community," she said.
"Now's the time to take an
overdue fine and turn it into
a good thing."
Anyone with excessive
fines should take the oppor-
tunity to clear them up,
she said.
The annual drive nets sev-
eral boxes of food for the
food bank, and even those
people who return their
books on time are welcome
to donate.
Meanwhile, Canadian
Library Week (October
17-24) ushered in a new
program for the Huron
County Library - Adopt a
Computer.
As libraries take on a
greater role in the commu-
nity as a technological hub,

— Jennifer Zoethout
the need for new and
replacement equipment
becomes more pronounced.
The Adopt a Computer pro-
gram welcomes donations
toward new machines,
which have about a three-
year life cycle.
In 2012, Huron's library
computers were accessed
more than 34,000 times for
everything from facebook to
banking to filling out gov-
ernment forms. As more
and more government forms
and job applications are
becoming available online,
the demand for computer
time is also increasing.
"We want to make sure
the technology is up to date
and that we have the best
available for the public,"
Zoethout said.

Huron County library sys-
tem and about five comput-
ers per branch, the program
also seeks to provide new
service in addition to replac-
ing the old. Replacements
are done in cycles, taking a
few at each branch at a
time.
Some libraries in the
county also have lending
laptops, which are available
for users who may want
some private computer use
at the library, whether filling
out tax forms or skyping
with family and friends. The
adoption program will also
provide for more laptops as
well.
The program asks for a
dollar a day for three years,
or $1,095 in total. Donors
can name the computer in
memory or honour of some-
one special, or after a
favourite author. However,
all donations are always
welcome at the library, and
can be put toward specific
initiatives, such as technol-
ogy or children's program-
ming.
Donations can be made at
any Huron County
Library branch.
