A fair counterclaim to the original claim is: "People turn in books late too often, so libraries should keep late fees to encourage responsibility." This counterclaim addresses the concern that without late fees, patrons may be less motivated to return books on time, which is a valid consideration in the debate over the policy.
Use the claim to answer the question.
