The bigger issue, to me, is that children have no source of income and aren't always in control of getting books back on time. Some families won't pay a $.10 fine. Some families won't make sure the child physically gets to the library to return books. If they are going to have fines, the least they can do is have ways the children can get around actually paying fines, but I also think it is more prudent to simply work around the fines and encourage folks to read and have access to library tools instead.
