in the hope of “removing a barrier to access and making the library more welcoming to all,” the library shared in a press release.Toronto Public Library“When customers have fines, they are less likely to use the library and take advantage of the wide variety of materials and services, including free wifi, quiet study and workspace, programs for all ages and opportunities for civic engagement and participation.
While the library has done away with late fees, those who have lost or damaged an item — or who do not return an item — are still required to pay for its replacement cost. The library claims that fines actually “create a barrier” for those who hope to use the different services at the library. The album is “Tanzmusik der Praetorius-Zeit: Dance Music from the Time of Praetorius,” by Fritz Neumeyer and was released in the ’60s.“Fines were originally introduced to encourage customers to return materials on time, but increasingly have been found by libraries across North America to be ineffective in encouraging the return of library materials as intended,” the Toronto Public Library said in its media release.
