<p class="MsoNormal">It means that patrons can continue to use the library without being adversely punished for being poor or of limited means. It also means that the library moves away from being punitive. LOL.. I suspect desk staff would love to have that

<p>Will someone please explain to me the advantage of "fine-free"? In my thinking it removes responsibility from the patron and cheapens the value of our collections. This is only the second time I've heard of this concept so perhaps I don't have the whole
picture. <o:p></o:p></p>
