Food for Fines Week

Please bring non-perishable food items to the Woodstock Public Library during our annual “Have a Heart Week.” Donated food will be given to the Woodstock Food Pantry for distribution to McHenry County families in need. The library will waive overdue fines in exchange for canned food donations. Maximum fine clearance is $5.00 per library card. Amnesty does not apply to lost or damaged charges. 

Recommended food items include peanut butter and jelly, gluten-free items, canned fruits and vegetables, dried milks, soups, noodles, and spaghetti sauce. Bathroom products such as soap, toilet paper, toothpaste, and personal care items are also needed. Expired and perishable items cannot be accepted.
