Feedback Needed: ALA Working Committee on Eliminating Monetary Library Fines as a Form of Social Justice

  • 1.  Feedback Needed: ALA Working Committee on Eliminating Monetary Library Fines as a Form of Social Justice

    Hi Everyone! The ALA Working Committee on Eliminating Monetary Library Fines as a Form of Social Justice is looking for feedback on creating a tool kit for eliminating fines. I think GameRT will have some interesting perspectives on this since we deal with non-traditional collections, equipment, and materials. If you could please take a minute to submit feedback by FRIDAY APRIL 12 (tomorrow!), that would be great! Thank you!

    Please submit comments on the form so that we ensure the working committee sees your feedback!
