If you owe a fine for late materials at Marshall Public Library – no matter how large or small – you can exchange it for a few cans of food for the local food bank through November 29th. “Food for Fines” gives anyone owing the library a fine for late books, magazines, videos, CDs, or audio tapes the opportunity to have the charges erased from their library card record and their library borrowing privileges restored. If any “lost” library materials are returned, the materials charges will be converted to overdue fines which may also be waived by donating food items.
Please bring in at least one non-perishable food item for every $5.00 in fines owed and we will donate the food to the Marshall Ministerial Alliance Food and Clothing Bank. It’s a great way to help the community, the library, and yourself! For more information, call the library at 217/826-2535. Marshall Public Library is located at 612 Archer Avenue in Marshall.

Community invited to discuss book Monday during first 'Community Reads' event
Charleston Middle School students meet in the school's library during their lunch hour to discuss a book they read as part of the school's new book club.
The life-or-death story of young people forced to compete to the end on live TV seems to be a hit with students at Charleston Middle School.
Now, reading teachers at CMS want to see what other people think about the story and if they’ll share their thoughts with the students, too.
