The Menomonie Public Library is going fine free. According to the website:
It is counter to our mission as a place that provides resources and fosters community to enrich the lives of Dunn County citizens in a welcoming environment. Late fines create barriers to people being able to access information.
Public libraries believe in giving all people access to information, programs, materials and services. When people have what they need to fulfill their goals and dreams, our whole community is stronger.
Libraries have found that there is no difference in the rate of return with or without fines.
NOTE: Hotspots, replacement fees for items not returned, and damage fines will still be charged for Menomonie Public Library materials. There may also be charges from other libraries.
