overdue fines
Late return charges
Overdue fines are charges imposed for keeping borrowed items past their due date, most commonly at libraries.
The fine typically accumulates daily until the item is returned: I owe twelve dollars in overdue fines.
Many libraries have eliminated these fees, finding them ineffective and disproportionately burdensome to lower-income patrons.
