When kids are fined fined by their #library for returning books late, they often stop reading altogether. An alternative approach: letting patrons "read away" their fines. Nice description of such a program by the LA Times from December:

@constructivejournalism I lost the library book one time. They charged 100$ USD fee for 20$ Amazon book. I get phone calls from debt collection company asking for 150$. Now I only download or buy, No more library.
