I have no idea how much longer the polls will be open, but the Christian Science Monitor is running a survey on its web site about whether library fines should be abolished. At this point, preserving fines is winning by a large margin. *sigh*

I did, I did! Fines bad!
(I work in a fine-free library)
george, why the sigh?
The *sigh* is for my fading hopes that libraries will can overdue fines universally. See my post at http://tinyurl.com/pk8s5 for my original rant on this topic.
Thanks for the link! I /thought/ this post was a little light in the text.
To abolish fines, library thinkers have to communicate with library funders. There's still hope!
i haven't read any of the issues regarding library fines...
but as a frequent borrower, library fines does make me more conscientious about returning books on time.
and as someone who always in the queue for popular books, i hope the looming threat of fines means that others return materials in a timely manner so that I can eventually get a book when I finally make it to the top of the list!
