Late fees will soon be a thing of the past for the Peterborough Public Library.
CEO Jennifer Jones says eliminating late fees is a system practiced across North America with success.
While the Peterborough Public Library won’t have this new system in place until September, Jones says return rates actually go up once late fines are removed from the equation.
Jones says late fines often make people afraid of coming back to the library because of the costs they can rack up.
