McMaster University Libraries supports the MSU Food Collective Center (located on the 3rd floor of the HUB) by offering our users a unique alternative to paying your recall or short term library fine - you can now pay with nonperishable food items.  For every item of nonperishable food item you bring in, we will lower your recall or short term loan fine by $4.00.

Details about exceptions and what kind of non-perishable items you can bring can be found on our Borrow from McMaster Library page under the 'Food for Fines' tab.
