I do tend to be generous--I won't completely erase a fine, unless I know of some
extenuating circumstance. I do let them pay what they are able and the rest just
"magically" disappears OR I offer them an opportunity to work off the amount owed.
I usually offer $3 per hour worked. They can come in and help with just general
library maintenance--shelving, dusting, straightening shelves or displays, etc.
I also handle all the ID fines for my campus, and let the kids work it off this way
as well.
