L-6. FOOD FOR FINES FEE WAIVER Approve a Food for Fines fee waiver. This fee waiver will happen for one week July 15-23, 2016. During this fine waiver period, the Library District will give customers a $2.00 waiver in overdue fines for every nonperishable item they donate, with a maximum waiver of $50.00 per customer account. The only fines that are eligible for the waiver are overdue fees (no collection, lost material, card replacement, processing or printing fees will be waived during this event). All collected food items will be donated to local food banks via the Maricopa County Human Services Department. This year's summer reading program theme is "Ready, Get Set, Read!" with a focus on sports, fitness and general wellness. Customers can simultaneously contribute to the wellness of their fellow county residents by participating in the second annual "Food for Fines" program. Contributions of nonperishable food items will restock local food pantries while clearing fines from customers' library accounts. (C-65-16-032-M-00)
