Here\'s A Story out of CT that says the Litchfield Public Library is replacing the old ladder system of late fees at the library with a new honor system called the \'Conscience Box\', which allows patrons to pay late fees as they see fit.
They say they did a lot of research and they actually bring in just as much money with this system as they did with the mandatory fines.
Has anyone else tried this?

\"This is a wonderful new policy,\" Oliver Wolcott Library director Ann Marie White said. \"We first started tinkering with this last winter and it has worked beautifully so now it is library policy. We\'ll be doing it every day for an indefinite period of time.\"
