St. Paul Public Library (SPPL) eliminated late fees in 2019, resulting in increased library usage while maintaining a steady overdue rate. The change reflects SPPL’s commitment to making library resources more accessible and equitable for all community members. Imagine Deliver played a role in this change by identifying overdue fees and book fines as barriers for some patrons and helping SPPL to center community needs in its library services.
