Mine doesn’t, I was surprised when they phased it out but apparently it increased use a ton.

Nope, they went with covid. Sorting who was late and who was in quarantine was the last straw for my library. However we are now more strict with assumed lost items, and people get some sticker shock over the replacement bill.

No, which is awesome! Though I rarely go in anymore, because the audiobook selection is so great, and I mostly have time to listen at work.

None of the libraries in my area do late fees anymore. They just automatically renew any books I don't return on time.

I actually had no idea because I always bring things back on time because I'm a square lol, but I looked it up and apparently they got rid of them during the pandemic.
