Join JMRL with its 9th annual Food Drive! While JMRL no longer has fines we still have friends and neighbors in need. Bring items to any branch to give your support.
Most Needed Items (No glass please):
CANNED FRUITS & VEGETABLES
(low sugar/sodium)
PROTEINS
(nut butters, canned tuna/chicken, canned or dry beans)
GRAINS
(cereal, pasta, rice,oatmeal, mac & cheese)
MEAL MAKERS
(soups, stews, chilis, pasta sauce low sodium)
COOKING OILS, DRIED HERBS & SPICES
NON-FOOD ITEMS
(toilet paper, toothpaste, soap, toothbrushes, feminine hygiene products, baby formula, diapers, baby food)
Please note:
The fees JMRL still collects for the most in-demand items (Bestsellers, hotspots, museum passes, Library of Things, Toys, ILLs) are NOT eligible to be waived during Food Not Fines. Manual charges for printing, ILLs, and out-of-area fees are not eligible either. This will also not apply to billed items. In short, no fees are eligible to be waived for the Food Drive
