• People who use the library don't have enough money to pay library late fees.
People turn in books late too often, so libraries should keep late fees to encourage responsibility.
Late fees discourage people from borrowing books because they worry about forgetting to return them on time.
Late fees help fund library programs and encourage borrowers to be responsible with their books.

Answer 1
