Library late fees are just subscriptions for forgetful people


Agree

  • Some people just pay regularly
  • Basically buying reading time extensions
  • Punishment becomes expected cost
  • Recurring charges like any service

Disagree

  • Fees encourage returning books for others
  • It's not a subscription, it's consequences
  • Returns are really not that hard
  • Many libraries eliminated fees anyway
