The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors voted August 10 to eliminate fines for overdue books and other materials from county libraries. Supervisor Janice Hahn proposed the change. “Library late fines do much more harm than good,” Hahn said. “They make up less than 1% of the library’s revenue and they can dissuade people from using the library’s services. Our L.A. County libraries are full of great resources and we want people to take advantage of them.”
