The 2022 Mayor’s Library Fine Amnesty was a resounding success with an extraordinary 1483 items donated to the annual Christmas appeal. As a result of the initiative, 217 long overdue items were also returned to the shelves of Hills Shire libraries.
The donations have been given to Anglicare for their Mobile Community Pantry, which provides food at a low cost to help those who need to stretch the budget.
