Going Fine Free at wpld-1
Our mission is to provide access to information, ideas, and cultural opportunities essential to a literate
and educated society and to provide a welcoming environment where people can seek out and explore
all library resources without barriers.
The reason to go fine free is stated in our mission statement, “to provide access… without barriers.”
Fines act as a barrier. This barrier prevents people from checking books out and makes some residents
feel unwelcome and embarrassed. By eliminating fines on at least some of our materials, it encourages
more residents to visit the library and will increase circulation. This will lead to better relations with the
public and the ability to serve more people
