Brodhead Memorial Public Library is proud to announce its first Food for Fines program. For every factory-sealed carton from the list of items below, library staff will waive $1 of fines. Please note that Food for Fines does not apply to fees for missing or damaged items and cannot be applied to fines owed to other South Central Library System member libraries.

Accepted items include:
- Applesauce cups/tubes
- Assorted crackers, individual bags (graham, triscuits, wheat thins, ritz, goldfish, teddy grahams)
- Canned chicken (pop-tops)
- Canned meals (pop-tops; Spaghetti-O's, Beef-a-roni, Dinty Moore, etc.)
- Canned vegetables (pop-tops)
