Our library forgave all of the fines and was amazed at how many books were returned. The staff realized that many were children’s books that the family could not afford to pay the fine. In the long run it has been a win-win for the children and library. Several in the area have done the same thing and found that it was better to forgive the fines. The returnee does have to pay for damaged or lost however.
