US library waives fines if you show a cat picture. In March, a library in the US state of Massachusetts was lenient: If you can't find the books you've borrowed, you can easily solve the problem with a photo of an animal.
According to US media, around 400 people have already taken part in the library's campaign. The waiver of the fines is a goodwill decision by the employees, it is said. But the library also emphasizes that it is not a complete free ticket. And anyone who has borrowed something from the so-called Library of Things must still expect the library to charge them for the costs of purchasing a replacement device.
