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. The library also emphasizes in its explanation that it is not a complete free ticket.
