A fair counterclaim to the argument that libraries should get rid of late fees on books is:
"Late fees help fund library programs and encourage borrowers to be responsible with their books."
This counterclaim acknowledges the potential benefits of late fees in terms of funding and promoting accountability among users, which directly opposes the original claim about eliminating late fees.
