The Orange County Public Libraries is holding a drive that started Thursday and will run through Dec. 16 in which patrons can make donations to have their overdue fines dropped.
The Food and Toys for Fines drive will allow people to exchange a non-perishable food item in exchange for $1 in fines or a new, unopened toy in exchange for all overdue fines.
Food and toys may not be used to pay for the replacement charges on lost or damaged library materials.
All toy donations that the library receives during the drive will be given to Toys for Tots.
The food donations the library gathers will be donated to Orange Congregations in Mission.
The libraries will not be open from Dec. 23 to Dec. 27, and will also close Jan. 1 and Jan. 2.
