The DC Public Library system announced this week that from now until February 5 they will forgive all library fines for any overdue, damaged (etc) materials (which includes books, DVD's, and any other items that can be rented from the library system).
This is a great initiative, as it will allow many people to get back into the library without the worry that they will need to pay fines. It is especially helpful for children and young adults who may not have the funds to pay for lost or overdue books, and who will stay away from the library for years as a result.
The library's goal is always to get people to read, explore, and learn - programs like this help immensely!
Now if only Philadelphia could/would do the same...
