Food For Fines


Got fines? Give food. It’s that easy.

It’s time to stock up on those unused canned food items to donate for Food for Fines, which will not only help you pay back your library fines, but will also go to the North Brunswick Food Bank to help people in need.

How does it work?

  • Each item you bring in will take $1 off of your overdue fines, up to $20

  • (Lost, damaged and rental fees not included)

What can you bring in?

Yes, please

Non-perishable, pre-packaged, nutritious items

No, thank you

Perishable, expired, damaged, or non-nutritious items

(Donations benefit the North Brunswick Food Bank)

The Food for Fines offer is only available to North Brunswick Public Library cardholders.  Patrons must show their library card.  Payment can only be applied toward overdue fines for North Brunswick Public Library materials.  Overdue items must be returned in good condition before the donation can be applied.
