Five Things You Need To Know: Dec. 5

Today is Monday, Dec. 5. Here are five things you need to know.

Food For Fines: Starting Monday and running through Jan. 20, the Lynnfield Library is running its Food For Fines program. For each non-perishable item brought in to donate, the library will deduct $1 from your overdue book fines. If you bring in boxes of cereal, diapers or containers of baby formula, you get $4 off your fines. (So be sure to start reading very, very slowly).  This will not apply to DVDs and videos or to damaged items.

Art Show And Sale: Looking ahead to the weekend already, on Saturday the Lynnfield Art Guild holds its winter show and sale from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Old Meeting House. Chances are there could be some good holiday gifts by local artists and artisans for sale.

Breakfast With Santa: Also happening this upcoming Saturday, the Centre Congregational Church is having breakfast with Santa from 9 to 11 a.m. $5 per person - kids under 2 are free. Call 781-334-3050 to make a reservation.

Town Business: The selectmen meet Monday night at town hall at 7 p.m.  They also have a joint meeting with the finance committee scheduled for Wednesday at 7 p.m. at the Lynnfield Senior Center.

Senior Center Holiday Luncheon: Tuesday at 11:30 a.m. the Lynnfield Senior Center holds its holiday luncheon. Tickets are $7 and must be purchased in advance – in other words, today.
