| Summary: | BELLEVUE UNIVERSITY LIBRARY BELLEVUE UNIVERSITY Bulletin Board AMNESTY: Do you have fines on your library account that need to be cleared? The library started their amnesty program, ‘Food for Fines‘ on November 1st and it will run through December 17th. For each item that a fine accrued, bring in one non-perishable food item and your library fines will be waived. Please take advantage of this wonderful opportunity not only to help yourself, but to also help your community in this time of great need. Please check out this web site, http://www.foodbankheartland.org/agencies/current.aspx, about the Omaha Food Bank to get some ideas on products that are generally needed. According to Nutrition Specialists, food is not safe if it has been opened, is past the expiration date or if cans are dented. So, we cannot accept any food with these conditions. All food items will be donated to the Bellevue Food Pantry. BOOK SALE: Visit the library between December 1-20, 2010 for our annual book sale. Books are $.50 each or 3/$1.00 and magazines are $.10 each. Stop by early for the best selection.
