FERRIS PUBLIC LIBRARY: More than books (November 28, 2019)

The Ferris Public Library’s Annual Food for Fines is back! Up until Dec. 20, 2019, you may clear your account with non-perishable food donations. Here’s how it works; every dollar you have for past due fines you can gift one can or package of food. This is for past due fines only; items must be returned to the library. Food will be given to a local food bank, which will be a win-win for everyone. Your account gets cleared, the library’s records will get cleaned up, and people in our community will benefit. If you’re not sure if you have any past due fines, please feel free to call us at 972-544-3696. Of course, we accept donations from those that are feeling generous during this giving time of year! 

From all of our staff, we wish you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving and safe travels! We will be closed Nov. 28 – 30, and will return to our regular hours on Tuesday, Dec. 3, at 9 a.m.
