The Hennepin County Board of Commissioners has approved a measure that will eliminate late fees at county libraries.
According to a Tuesday announcement, the measure was approved as part of the board’s 2021 budget. The move also means all Hennepin County library cards returned to a $0 balance on Wednesday.
Eliminating fees makes libraries more accessible, said Board Chair Marion Greene.
“The elimination of late fines from the Hennepin County Library system is a change that will reduce disparities and increase access to our collections,” Greene said in a statement.
