Patrons were invited to make good on unpaid fines by donating canned and packaged foods for the local soup kitchen or by entering a dance competition, “Dance Dance Revolution.”To sweeten the pot, during most of the day the library served coffee, bagels, pastries and ice cream, donated by area businesses.
