SUBJECT: Administrative Report
• On May 4, the King County Library System (KCLS) cleared late fines for all patrons with a
new initiative called A Fresh Start for All. This one-time waiver gives patrons a fresh start
on their account and enables access to all KCLS materials. A Fresh Start for All was
approved by the KCLS Board of Trustees on April 27, 2022. KCLS will return to pre-
pandemic circulation practices on September 15 and will start assessing late fines again
at that time. After their accounts have been cleared on May 4, patrons will have until
September 15 to return items before late fines resume.
