The Library is running its annual Holiday Food for Fines Amnesty Program from November 27 through December 31. Residents are able to pay their overdue fines in food and personal care items for the Marlborough Food Pantry. For every non-perishable food or personal care item donated they will waive $1 in fines. Residents can also choose to pay the fine in cash, which will go to the food pantry, or split the payment between cash and donated items. Sorry but they can't accept donations to cover lost item costs, inter-library loan fines, museum pass fines or replacement fees.
The Library is also collecting toys for the U.S. Marines' Toys for Tots program.
Do you have opinions about the budget as it relates to the delivery of public services through agencies such as the Department of Mental Health, MassHealth, Dept of Developmental Services, etc? The MA Secretary of Health and Human Services is asking for your input. If you can't attend the feedback forum on 12/29, please mail or email her with your thoughts. For more info, visit:
