We’re Going (Mostly) Fine Free!

Thanks to a generous donation from Tom Schiano at Mama’s and Cafe Baci we are eliminating fines on most items in our collection, starting November 1. This comes after we eliminated fines on children’s items after a donation from Man Skirt Brewing in June.

Go grab some delicious food and thank Tom at Mama’s for his service to the community!
