San Mateo County libraries waive fines for food

SAN MATEO COUNTY, Calif. (KGO) -- If you have an overdue library book, you can help feed the hungry this holiday season.

The San Mateo County's library system has a "Food for Fines" program in which residents can bring in a box or can of non-perishable food and they'll waive the fine.

The food will go to Second Harvest Food Bank from now through the end of the year.
