紐約市三大圖書館系統 取消所有逾期罰款

紐約公共圖書館、皇后區公共圖書館和布魯克林公共圖書館宣佈,取消先前高達數百萬元因逾期或丟失書籍的罰款,同時將不再對逾期書籍收取費用。

從週二(5日)起,所有先前欠三個圖書館系統的逾期罰款已從顧客帳戶中刪除,新政策將「解除」約 40 萬名欠款超過 15 元的城市居民。

紐約市府和三個圖書館的官員在一份聯合聲明中指出,這些人中約有一半生活在「高需求社區」,其中 30% 的人未滿 17 歲。

紐約公共圖書館主席馬克思(Anthony Marx)表示,逾期罰款“是一種過時、無效來鼓勵顧客歸還書籍的方式。他指出,對於負擔得起罰款的人來說,幾乎不是一種激勵。而對於負擔不起的人,特別是低收入的紐約人,則成為他們真正的障礙。

為了慶祝新的無罰款時代,並歡迎新客人到圖書館,三個系統將從 10 月 18 日開始在所有分支機構舉辦為期一周的贈品和特別節目。

圖書館官員們稱,儘管在 2019 財年因罰款帶來了共 320 萬元的收入,但已找到替代方法。

根據新規定,紐約人仍需支付丟失物品的更換費,任何逾期一個月的材料都被視為丟失。但如果最終歸還書籍,則無需支付費用。
