During the months of November and December, the Natchitoches Parish Library (NPL) held its “Fine ForGIVING” program for the second year. The NPL waived most types of fines from patron accounts to honor the patrons that gave so much back to the community. Donations of all sorts were accepted for distribution: canned goods, dog and cat food, toys, coats, and costumes. Donated items were then distributed with partner organizations within the parish.

“If you missed this past years Fine ForGIVING program it will be back again this year.” says Alan Niette, NPL Outreach Coordinator “Besides, our checkout services can still be accessed as long as your fines total less than $5! All of our programming and digital checkout is always available no matter the fine amount on an account!”
