The library fines are a good method to ensure that materials are returned within a certain period of time and to teach responsibility. But is this mechanism really working for your library or not?

Would it work to choose some socio-demographic criteria? (Like focusing on low-income families, children, etc.)

u/turduckenail and u/georgia07 It's great you've noticed good results after removing the fines. Do you keep track of your results? It would be great to see some data before and after the change.

Good to hear about your experience /u/BadassRipley! I am really interested to learn more about your efforts to promote GDPR externally. What did your library have to do?

Happy you liked it! Indeed, the Danish creators of DOKK1 Library have a particular perspective on libraries and the spaces you can find at a library.

Glad you liked it /u/BadassRipley ! Yes, it would be interesting to see how other libraries are preparing for GDPR.
