Utah Valley State College's library is accepting canned food from all students who have overdue-book fines.

Students can bring in canned goods through Thursday during the library's extended finals hours, Monday to Thursday from 7 a.m. to midnight, Friday from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.

For each can of food, the library will deduct $1 from overdue fines. Donations will be given to the Utah County Food Bank.

The UVSC library has sponsored "Food for Fines" since 1995 and each year the amount of food has increased. Last year 2,400 pounds of food was given, compared to the 700 pounds of food donated the first year.
