Library fines forgiven for school supply donations

Libraries in Fremont County are waiving borrowers' fines for overdue materials if they donate school supplies. Terry Dunn of the Fremont County Library in Lander created the program, which will last until Aug. 25. It doesn't apply to patrons with lost or damaged library materials. Fremont County libraries have a similar program in November and December where patrons can bring in cans of food to wipe out their fines. Dunn says the school supply program allows people to help others out during the summer. Donations of school supplies, including notebooks, loose-leaf paper and crayons, must be in their original packages. They will be given to the Christian Food Store in Riverton, Care and Share in Lander and the Dubois Opportunity Shop in Dubois.
