Many libraries have a defined late-fee (e.g., $.50/day, regardless of whether the book is an expensive full color monster, or a children's book. Anyone here with children will probably agree that when you check out books for your little children, you are getting not one but 10 (or more) children's books. This discourages families from checking out books for their children, because even a few days late on 10 children's books starts to add up fast!
