Donate Non-Perishables and Erase Library Fees at Any Santa Clarita Public Library Branch This September!
Clear your Library fees with a can of generosity! Join the Santa Clarita Public Library’s Food For Fines campaign this September. By donating non-perishable food items and toiletries at any of our three Branches, you not only erase your fines but also support local charities that help those in need across our community.
This heartfelt initiative lets you wipe away fines up to $20 from your Library card while making a difference in our community. Your donations of non-perishable goods at our Old Town Newhall Branch support The Salvation Army in Newhall, while contributions at the Valencia Branch assist the Santa Clarita Valley Food Pantry. Meanwhile, donations at the Canyon Country Jo Anne Darcy Branch go straight to Santa Clarita Grocery. It’s a perfect opportunity to clear your fines and spread kindness throughout Santa Clarita!
Donating goods at the Santa Clarita Public Library not only helps those in need but also clears fines for overdue items like books, DVDs, CDs and even covers the cost of replacing Library cards! For every donation item, cardholders receive a $5 credit, with up to $20 in fines waived. Please note, donations cannot be used to cover fees for lost or damaged Library materials.
We want to encourage community members to help donate to our local organizations and assist those in need. Residents without existing Library fees are still encouraged to donate. Every donation makes a difference, big or small.
