<p><font color="#555555" face="verdana, arial, sans-serif" size="4"><b>New Thinking on Library Fines</b></font></p>
<p><font color="#333333" face="verdana, arial, sans-serif" size="2">Most libraries charge fines - it's a fact of life, right? A <a href="http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=oplinlist@lists.oplin.org&job=3331666&ymlink=233762451&finalurl=https%3A%2F%2Flj%2Elibraryjournal%2Ecom%2F2017%2F04%2Fbudgets%2Dfunding%2Fdoing%2Dfines%2Dfines%2Dfees%2F">2017 survey</a> conducted by Library Journal indicates that over 90% of libraries charge late fees. However, the looming threat of accumulating fines for overdue materials is a <a href="http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=oplinlist@lists.oplin.org&job=3331666&ymlink=233762451&finalurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Ecde%2Estate%2Eco%2Eus%2Fcdelib%2Fremovingbarrierstoaccess">large factor</a> in keeping children, teens, and low-income families from checking out items and sometimes from even visiting the library. Fortunately, t</font><span style="color: #333333; font-family: verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; background-color: #ffffff;">here are l</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; background-color: #ffffff;">ibraries all over the globe experimenting with new ways to handle these late materials and fees. In fact, according to the same survey, over 60% of libraries have some "alternative" way to pay these fines. </span></p>
<p><font color="#333333" face="verdana, arial, sans-serif" size="2">Some libraries, like <a href="http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=oplinlist@lists.oplin.org&job=3331666&ymlink=233762451&finalurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Echipublib%2Eorg%2Fnews%2Ffine%2Damnesty%2Dwelcomes%2Dyou%2Dhome%2Dto%2Dcpl%2F">Chicago Public</a> and Los Angeles Public, have created several-day-long amnesty programs which include fine forgiveness for return of an item, no matter if it's three days or three <em>years</em> late. Patrons are still charged replacement fees for lost items, but if you pay to replace the item they will also forgive any late fines it had accumulated (this seems to be a general rule in fine forgiveness - if it's really lost, you will have to replace it, but the overdue cost will still be taken off). Other popular strategies for fine forgiveness are programs like food drives for local charities. Many area libraries (including Lane, MidPointe, Green County, Cleveland, and more) do these drives at various times of the year, usually taking a dollar off of a patron's fines for each food item or can they bring in. </font></p>
<p><font color="#333333" face="verdana, arial, sans-serif" size="2">These types of programs can still be exclusionary to those low-income patrons who can't afford fines <em>or</em> a donation of food. For these types of situations, many libraries are starting "read down your fines" programs in which patrons can read for certain amounts of time in exchange for fine forgiveness. <a href="http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=oplinlist@lists.oplin.org&job=3331666&ymlink=233762451&finalurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Equeenslibrary%2Eorg%2Fservices%2Flibrary%2Dcard%2Fread%2Ddown%2Dyour%2Dfees">Queens Library</a> allows patrons to sign up for their read down program at their customer service desk; for every half hour a patron reads, they get one "library buck" which can be used on any library fines or fees. Other libraries have programs like "work down your fines" in which patrons can help out with shelving or other library tasks <a href="http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=oplinlist@lists.oplin.org&job=3331666&ymlink=233762451&finalurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Elanepl%2Eorg%2Fteens%2Fwork%2Dit%2Doff%2F">in exchange for fine forgiveness</a>. </font></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333; font-family: verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; background-color: #ffffff;">Finally, there is the concept of <a href="http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=oplinlist@lists.oplin.org&job=3331666&ymlink=233762451&finalurl=https%3A%2F%2Famericanlibrariesmagazine%2Eorg%2Fblogs%2Fthe%2Dscoop%2Fimagining%2Dfine%2Dfree%2Dfuture%2F">"fine free" libraries</a>. For some, this means <a href="http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=oplinlist@lists.oplin.org&job=3331666&ymlink=233762451&finalurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Ecde%2Estate%2Eco%2Eus%2Fcdelib%2Fremovingbarrierstoaccess">no fines for children and/or teens</a> while adults are still charged late fees. For others like </span><a href="http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=oplinlist@lists.oplin.org&job=3331666&ymlink=233762451&finalurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Ecolumbuslibrary%2Eorg%2Fpress%2Fcolumbus%2Dmetropolitan%2Dlibrary%2Deliminate%2Doverdue%2Dfines%2Dbeginning%2Djan%2D1%2D2017" style="font-family: verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; background-color: #ffffff;">Columbus Metro</a><span style="color: #333333; font-family: verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; background-color: #ffffff;"> and </span><a href="http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=oplinlist@lists.oplin.org&job=3331666&ymlink=233762451&finalurl=https%3A%2F%2Fstarklibrary%2Eorg%2Fhome%2Ffaqs%2Flibrary%2Dcard%2Dand%2Dborrowing%2F" style="font-family: verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; background-color: #ffffff;">Stark County</a><span style="color: #333333; font-family: verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: small; background-color: #ffffff;"> it means no late fees for <a href="http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=oplinlist@lists.oplin.org&job=3331666&ymlink=233762451&finalurl=http%3A%2F%2Fpubliclibrariesonline%2Eorg%2F2012%2F12%2Ffine%2Dforgiveness%2Dfor%2Dall%2F">any patrons</a>. This does not mean there no consequences for unreturned materials, for example, <a href="http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=oplinlist@lists.oplin.org&job=3331666&ymlink=233762451&finalurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eslate%2Ecom%2Farticles%2Farts%2Fculturebox%2F2017%2F02%2Flibrarians%5Fare%5Frealizing%5Fthat%5Foverdue%5Ffines%5Fundercut%5Flibraries%5Fmissions%2Ehtml">Columbus</a> blocks borrowing for patrons with items over three weeks late and charges a replacement fee after thirty-five days. Both of these charges are refunded if the item is found and later returned, however. As librarians, we believe in access to information for all, and when things like fees gets in the way of that access, we can work toward solutions that make our institutions even more accessable to all, whether that solution is going totally fine free or using one of many other fine-forgiveness options. What is right for your library?</span></p>

Throughout this webinar we’ll dive into the deeper aspects of Facebook for Business like audience insights, ad manager, power editor, and more. <br />

We’ll also look at how organizations properly use email so that they get such spectacular results and explore the data and strategies behind email success with the latest research. Finally, we’ll demonstrate and explain the best practices for email, and explain how libraries can use these tactics to increase support, funding, and awareness for libraries.</font></span></p>
