Davidson library drive brings in 22 tons in food donations

Food for Fines, the food drive organized by the Nashville Public Library, generated more than 22 tons of food for the Second Harvest Food Bank. Trading one food item for each $1 owned in overdue fines, library patrons donated over 45,000 pounds of food. The January effort was one of the top campaigns of the past five years for the nonprofit organization, library officials said. — NANCY DEVILLE ndeville@tennessean.com
