Join us on Thursday, February 13th @Noon Pacific for a webinar with Pines and Plains Libraries (CO) Director Tim Miller, Perry County Library (TN) Director Gail Spragins, Chicago Public Library (IL) Commissioner Andrea Telli, and Santa
Monica Public Library (CA) Director Patty Wong as they engage in a big-picture conversation about becoming and being fine-free libraries. During this conversation, they will identify their libraries' "why" for being fine-free, discuss how they strategically
addressed their communities' needs and local government priorities by eliminating fines, and describe the impacts of going fine-free on their communities.
While this webinar focuses on the "why" of going fine-free, we know that many people are also interested in the how-to's. For those, we encourage you to check out the Infopeople webinar recording "Eliminating overdue fines: A win-win for
your library and community" with Beth Crist, Colorado State Library and Meg DePriest, State Library Consultant at this link: https://infopeople.org/civicrm/event/info?id=873&reset=1
