IT COULD be a case of beans means fines from today for Southampton's bookworms who have not paid their dues.
Food for Fines will encourage borrowers who owe fines for overdue books to make amends by donating a tin of food for every pound owed.
The tins will be donated to Basics Bank, a charity run by the City Mission to provide emergency food and clothing to families in Southampton.
