Fine-Free Libraries (Live Webinar)
Aug 26, 2021, 1:00 PM – 2:30 PM
There’s a trend in libraries across the country that’s picking up in popularity—libraries going fine-free. Important policy discussions are leading many library boards to conclude that traditional overdue fines impose a barrier to library access and, in many cases, acknowledge that fines are not a significant revenue stream. In this panel presentation, directors from four Iowa libraries relay their experience in evolving to a fine-free policy, sharing their board decisions and the outcomes of the policy changes.
