ALA Policy Statement: Library Services to the Poor (2012)
“The American Library Association shall implement these objectives by: 
1. Promoting the removal of all barriers to library and information services, particularly fees and overdue charges.”

Economic Barriers to Information Access (ALA, 1993)
“All library policies and procedures, particularly those involving fines, fees, or other user charges, should be scrutinized for potential barriers to access.”

“The American Library Association asserts that the charging of fees and levies for information services, including those services utilizing the latest information technology, is discriminatory in publicly supported institutions providing library and information services.”
