The fair counterclaim is:

Late fees help fund library programs and encourage borrowers to be responsible with their books.

This counterclaim directly addresses the original claim by providing a rationale for why libraries might want to maintain late fees, aligning with the argument that such fees can support library services and motivate users to return books on time.
