Chicago’s public library will soon be the largest public library system in the country to eliminate overdue fines.
Chicago’s public library is becoming the largest public library system in the country to eliminate overdue fines, in an effort that Mayor Lori Lightfoot said would end “regressive practices disproportionately impacting those who can least afford it.”
Beginning Tuesday, the Chicago Public Library “will eliminate overdue fines on all CPL-owned items currently in circulation, removing unfair barriers to basic library access, especially for youth and low-income patrons,” the mayor’s office said in a statement. Anyone with outstanding overdue fines will have their accounts cleared and materials checked out will automatically renew up to 15 times if there are no holds on an item. Items will be considered “lost” one week after the last due date and accounts will be charged for a replacement cost, however, those fines will be cleared if the item is returned.
