Over the Thanksgiving holiday, please take a moment to raid your pantry or add an extra item to your grocery cart for donation to the local food bank.  To help with the effort to increase food donations, the public libraries in Monterey and Pacific Grove will be accepting non-perishable, unopened food items in lieu of payment for overdue fines throughout the month of December.  All food donations will be given to the Food Bank for Monterey County for distribution to families in need. 

The Monterey Public Library is located at 625 Pacific Street, Monterey, and the Pacific Grove Public Library is located at 550 Central Avenue, Pacific Grove.  For more information call 831.646.3747 or 831.648.576
