During this period all branch locations will accept non-perishable food items in place of cash for overdue library fines. This project is offered through the Huron County Library in partnership with the Huron County Health Unit and local food banks. This is the fourth year the Huron County Library has offered this program at their library branches. When the program was run in 2008, 534 people donated 790 items to local food banks through their public library in Huron County. Food for Fines provides library users the opportunity to clear their record, return overdue materials, and support local food banks. During the program fines for items are waived on a one-to-one ratio; it’s simply one item of food for each book overdue. All donations through this program are redistributed to foodbanks within Huron County. Formore information on this program orother events at your library visit your local branch or www.huroncounty.ca/library/ Continued from page 22 of helping others.

THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 2009. PAGE 23. Central Huron Secondary School is hosting, Tech Day, a day of new technology experiences for Grade 8 students. One hundred and seventy-five students were invited to participate for a half day in technology classes with Central Huron students as their mentors. Blyth Public, Hullett, Clinton and Holmesville schools attended on Monday, Nov. 16, while Seaforth Public and Huron Centennial are attending Friday, Nov. 20. Students had a choice of selecting two of the following workshops: culinary arts, transportation, manufacturing, construction, tech design and communication technology. The culinary arts workshop is for those students who love to work in the kitchen preparing and sampling food. The transportation sessions involves students who have an interest in cars and engines. They will be working alongside senior students using automotive tools and gaining an experience in welding. Manufacturing gives students a chance to explore the various aspects of the metal working environment. Students already in the class, assist Grade 8 students to experience first hand, a view of operational functions of metal work equipment. Construction students are introduced to several new woodworking tools which will be used to complete a small project to be taken home later. Tech design students had the opportunity to create a small project to be taken home later. Tech Design students had the opportunity to create a floor plan for a small cottage using the computer program, Soft Plan. As well, students could generate a three- dimensional tour of their cottage, print a floor plan with elevations and take it with them to show their family. The last choice of communication technology, students were treated to a media experience involving photography, film making and animation. There are opportunities for learning new techniques and using specialized equipment. Any photos or animations students create with their peers will be made into a DVD to be taken home to show friends and family. In the kitchen Blyth and Hullett Central Public School students travelled to Central Huron Secondary School for a Tech Day where students were able to sit in on technologically-oriented classes with high school students. In the culinary class was Rachael Snell, centre, from Blyth Public School, who was being assisted by Jenny Hughes, left, and Courtney Karounos, both CHSS students.
