Albert Lea Public Library will accept nonperishable, unexpired canned goods and packaged food items until Nov. 19, at the circle desks.

For every item donated, patrons of the library can receive $2 off an existing Albert Lea Public Library late fee or a $2 coupon that is good for having a late fee waived. Goods must be unopened and undamaged. Staff is requesting that no candy or glass items are brought in.

The event is an activity the library does in honor of National Hunger and Home-less Awareness Week.
