St. Johns County Libraries Launch “Enhanced Food for Fines” Program for 2025

The St. Johns County Public Library System is turning overdue books into acts of kindness this holiday season. From November 9 through December 21, 2025, the annual Food for Fines program invites everyone to donate canned goods or funds to help local families — and this year, contributions also support bike lights for kids and families through the Firefighters for Families initiative. A simple way to give back and make a difference right here at home.
