Feets for Fines. It's a pretty good deal.

This holiday season, pay off your Ada Public Library fines and help others at the same time.

Here's what happens when you donate shoes to the cause:
1 pair of NEW kid’s shoes** = $5 worth of fines
1 pair NEW gloves = $5 worth of fines
1 NEW hat or scarf = $5 worth of fines
1 pair of NEW kid’s socks = $1 worth of fines

*Not eligible for lost book fees
**No flip flops, please

All of the collected items will be donated to Helping Hands, a Hardin County charity that will give the shoes and socks to local children in need.

The Feets for Fines program is sponsored by ONU Women, in collaboration with The Friends of the Ada Public Library.

While we are on the subject of libraries:

2nd Annual Holiday Silent Auction!

What: The Silent Auction is a series of baskets or items on display at the Library, all items can be bid on, with the highest bid winning the items. All money raised from bids goes toward Library programming in 2014.

Why: The baskets, to be auctioned off at the Library, will serve as wonderful holiday gifts for family and friends! The Library offers free programs year round, so we thought this would be a fun way that the local community - both item donors, as well as patron bidders -can help support the Library in a unique way.

Where: The Ada Public Library

When: Baskets will be available to be viewed and bid on from Monday, Dec. 2 - Saturday, Dec.14.

Any other questions, please stop by or call the Ada Library (419-634-5246).
