Acknowledgements:
I want to thank Beth Crist and Meg DePriest for their extensive work on the issue of libraries going fine free. I am standing on the shoulders of giants and they have done so much for the issue.

Meg DePriest wrote the 2015 white paper for the Colorado State Library advocating for the elimination of fines and fees on children’s materials. Currently, she is a consultant with the California State Library working on the Public Library Survey and the state literacy statistics.

Thanks to Sarah Houghton as a sounding board, cheerleader, and good friend for encouraging me along with this project.
