Food for Fines is back!
Bring non-perishable food to any Hutt City Library from 1-31 October and wipe your fines.
Every item goes to your local food bank and you'll get $5 removed from your library account.
Last time we ran Food for Fines during December 2016 and wiped $21,364.05 off library accounts - that's a lot of food going to our local food banks!
Don't have fines but still feeling generous? Drop off items to any of our libraries and we'll pass it on to our local food banks!

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
