OK. Not your typical bargain but for those of us in with BCC library fines so big they just stopped using the library this is our chance for redemption.
The following if cut and pasted from an email they sent out:
Customers who return their overdue books at a library during December 2014 or have existing overdue fines, processing fees and/or holds fees will have these fees waived in exchange for a can of food. Please note that perishable food items cannot be accepted.
Lost library items are not covered by the amnesty.
This year, Council's library amnesty will donate all food to Foodbank Queensland, an organisation that distributes food to charities and community organisations who assist those in need.
Also don't be a twat who just palms off their useless canned goods. e.g. a hearty stew or spaghetti and meatballs will go a lot further than (profanity) pickled capers or some other equally useless crap.
