Library board members talked about eliminating fines, but not fees when they met Monday night.
The Keene Memorial advisory board voted to send a revised policy manual to the Fremont City Council for approval in April.
Removed from the revised manual is a section regarding fines for overdue materials.
Laura England-Biggs, interim library director, said libraries nationally â approximately 200 across the country â and internationally are following a trend of going fine free.
Currently, fines are 5 cents a day for childrenâs materials and 15 cents a day for adult and young adult materials at Keene.
âThe fines we collect on an annual basis are less than a $5,000 revenue stream in a $1.3 million-dollar budget,â England-Biggs said. âWe arenât going to miss that income, but it will do a lot of goodwill in the community if we can say, âHey, weâre not going to charge you that 50 cents, just bring it back.ââ

The CDC estimates that 20% of people age 55 years or older experience some type of mental health concern. The most common conditions include anxiety, severe cognitive impairment, and mood disorders (such as depression or bipolar disorder) - see: https://www.cdc.gov/aging/
pdf/mental health.pdf. Research has shown that loneliness and social isolation can result in long-term negative health outcomes. Studies also illustrate the health benefits of using photos to reduce loneliness, stress, and anxiety, as well as the recollective benefits for those that suffer from early-onset of dementia, dementia, and Alzheimer’s.

UH Law Center: Black History Month Lecture speaker Burr to analyze pre-Civil War ancestral history
Mar 09, 2021 11:03 AM ET Legal Newswire POWERED BY LAW.COM
In commemoration of Black History Month, the University of Houston Law Center will host a virtual discussion led by University of New Mexico School of Law Professor Emeritus Sherri L. Burr at 5:30 p.m. on Feb. 25.
Burr s presentation is titled, Genealogical Research into America s Antebellum Past: The Challenges of Finding the Enslaved, the Free, and Enslavers. Dean Leonard M. Baynes will serve as a commentator. We must analyze pre-Civil War ancestral history because too much of relations between races has been lost, misunderstood, or misinterpreted, Burr said. This unexamined history continues to impact relations between races today.
