SAN DIEGO - A new program from the San Diego Library would eliminate overdue collection fees and fines for kids across the city.

The Library Foundation plans to cover the cost of all current fees in collections. That will cost around $170,000. Jones says donors have lined up to help pay for that since the idea was first announced. Jones says this is also an equity issue. Of the 2,779 accounts currently in collections, 64% are from underserved areas.
