Library fines
Posted: Wed Jan 26, 2022 11:34 pm
Colleagues,
Today the Austin's Monitor published an article ("Library Commission pushes for fine-free books") about a recommendation that from our library commissioners to remove late fees for adult library users. Over the last multiple months, my office has been working with library commissioners, Austin Public Library staff & others to prepare a mid-year fee schedule amendment to implement this recommendation.
We are now working with city legal on the language, and I hope to bring this action forward in one of our next several meetings.
Best,
Kathie Tovo
