[Biblist] Bibliotek i New York slopar förseningsavgifter

Från Library Journal NYC Libraries Go Fine Free by Lisa Peet Oct 05, 2021 | Filed in News On October 5, the three New York City library systems—Brooklyn Public Library (BPL), New York Public Library (NYPL), and Queens Public Library (QPL)—announced that they will no longer charge late fines on books and other circulating materials. New Yorkers of all ages will not need to pay late fines on overdue materials, and the three systems have cleared all prior late fines from patron accounts, unblocking about 400,000 cards frozen because holders had accrued more than $15 in late fees—more than half of them in high-need communities. https://www.libraryjournal.com/?detailStory=nyc-goes-fine-free&utm_sour… Jan -- Jan Szczepański F.d Förste bibliotekarie och chef för f.d Avdelningen för humaniora, vid f.d.
