Mendocino County (in California, United States) seems to be working the library over with their exorbitant administrative fees and poor bookkeeping over the last few years.

Mendocino County Library is facing a huge budget shortfall, to the tune of nearly $750,000! County residents, let the County know how much the library means to you and demand change about this billing.
