Given the recent discussion about fines, this archived webinar might be of interest:
To Fine or Not to Fine (Montana State Library) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9QM9loY9g4&feature=youtu.be : A discussion about the evolving policies at libraries on assessing fines for overdue items.  While every library and the community it serves is unique, many libraries are instituting policies that end fines in order to promote good will, increase library usage among certain groups they want to serve, while sustaining revenues and managing staff time or other costs.
