Text Box: Sometimes during the year bringing back library items does not happen completely on time. At those instances you may acquire a fine that attaches itself to your library card until such a time as you can pay it off. The MVLD takes this special holiday season between Thanksgiving and Christmas to help our membership and our community’s needy. For every $1.00 of fines on your library card, you can bring in one non-perishable item - canned good, hygiene product - or a new toy for a child and have your fines forgiven. This special can only be used on fines on overdue items. It does not pertain to payment for unreturned items or processing charges that have been accessed The products and the toys that are collected throughout the month will be given to the Collinsville Pantry to be distributed throughout the area. ‘Food for Fines’ and ’Toys for Children’ will begin on November 23rd and end on December 20th. Text Box: Refreshments will be served For the latest in information about things that are happening at the Collinsville Memorial Library Center or throughout the library community in the Metroeast, visit our blog, “Library Service in the MetroEast” at http://collinsvillelibrary.blogspot.com/ Some of the present and past subjects have been * The Pan Fountain * Online Databases Text Box: Saturday, November 17th 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm Riverwind Storytellers For A night of adult storytelling and friendship at The Blum House Bring a friend… Text Box: * Library Closings Looking back a year in the Blog to November 2006 you can read an article on the Tellabration posted in part by Marilyn Kinsella, master storyteller, and read what a wonderful time was had by all and the stories that were shared by the storytellers throughout that evening.
