Authorize the Mendocino County Library to implement Food for Fines for the month of December 2017.

Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
On December 6, 2016 the Board Approved the Mendocino County Library to offer Food for Fines for the month of December 2016.
Summary of Request:
It is a custom for libraries to offer a Food for Fines program in the month of December. The Mendocino County Library would like to offer this as an ongoing program to benefit patrons and the community. This would allow patrons to clear their fines in a timely manner. For every canned food item brought to the library, $2 can be credited to a patron’s outstanding late fines for a maximum of $10. This program cannot be used for debt collection and lost or damaged items. The canned food collected will be donated to local food banks. Food for Fines benefits the library patrons by giving them an alternative to pay down late fines, while doing something meaningful for the community in the process. Approval is being requested for the Mendocino County Library to hold a Food for Fines program for the month of December 2017.
