The James L. Hamner Public Library, in partnership with Amelia Community Outreach, is offering a Fine Amnesty for Food November 22, 24, 25, 26 and 29. For all the hours that we are open, we will be forgiving ALL FINES owed if patrons bring us canned or packeaged food for the hungry in Amelia.
This is a little different from previous fine amnesties, because owing patrons must come into the Library, rather than simply using our outdoor book return. We will remove the fines from each patron’s record upon the return of the material and the donation of the food. If you don’t have a fine, but would like to contribute to the Food Drive, please bring us donations. So many people in the community really need our help right now!
We will be open for the Thanksgiving Holidays using the following schedule:
Saturday, November 22: 10-2
Monday, November 24: 10-6
Tuesday, November 25: 10-8
Wednesday, November 26: 10-12 (yes, only TWO HOURS!)
Thursday, November 27: CLOSED (eat lots of turkey!)
Friday, November 28: CLOSED (see you at the mall!)
Saturday, November 29: 10-2
