It's often not necessarily that they can't afford the fines or are unwilling to pay, but they're too embarrassed or intimidated or aren't sure what the right procedure is, so they just stop going to the library.
At first I wrote an open-source tool to download the list of borrowed books from the website and renew them automatically. Then I thought it is pointless and decided to never go again to any library.
Unfortunately, now people are using my tool, and every time the library changes the website, I get mails that I need to make an update. So I am forced to go to the library just to see what changes they made to the website
These libraries issues are stressing me so much I could only sleep 5 hours tonight
