This US Library Found A PurrFect Solution To Overdue Fees

If you think creativity is steadily declining, you should check out the latest 'March Meowness' program launched by the Worcester Public Library in Massachusetts. The official Instagram handle of Worcester Public Library declared in a post, "We've got one month of fee forgiveness for lost or damaged WPL items! Show us a picture of your cat, a famous cat, a picture you drew of a cat—any cat—and we will forgive WPL fees on your account." 

"Feline for Fee Forgiveness!"

The account not only waived fee charges but also advertised the 'Worcester Animal Rescue League and Second Chance Animal Services' and how people can get involved with these projects and make cat toys for themselves or donate to shelter cats! But this is not all; the WPL has penned down several activities and programs for book lovers, cat lovers, and children. From scavenger hunts, book readings (for younger kids), and cat castle-making to organising a 'Teen Space' for people who would want to pet and de-stress with cats, The page seems to be filled with a lot of cat-themed activities and even memes! 

The official website also said, "We understand accidents can happen, and sometimes fees might hold you back from fully using your public library. We hope that you will join us as we celebrate March Meowness at all of our Worcester Public Library Locations." This program serves a dual purpose: firstly, it helps many readers and people with large overdue fines and thereby promotes a healthy reading culture and environment. Secondly, it also helps cats! On their social media handle, there are several programs and activities involving shelter cats and raising money for such cats. This is a great initiative to help and even give a home to such animals and create a fun learning environment for young kids and readers.

Worcester Public Library has made this smart move, which has not only made headlines everywhere but also made this program very popular and creative. We hope the reading community thrives on more such initiatives and programs.
