Portage Library Makes Fine Forgiveness Offer 

During the months of December and January Portage Lake District Library patrons can pay up to $10 in overdue fines by bringing non-perishable food items to the library. The food will be donated to local food pantries.  

Patrons are encouraged to bring small, individual sized portions for recipients of Little Brothers Friends of the Elderly programs. Large family size packages and canned goods will be donated to the Salvation Army and St. Vincent de Paul. 

Those who wish to contribute food yet have no library fines are welcome to do so. All donations will be immensely appreciated. 

The library staff wishes everyone a Happy Holiday season.
