First I must ask who would have over a $50 charge? Ok. I know there are some examples of when government can charge a fee, but I do not believe this is allowed be the library and will be a violation of the merchant policy. The Article ready set aim

The Georgia public libraries in Walker and Dade counties are now accepting credit cards as a form of payment for overdue fines as well as copies, faxes or any other library purchase. All major credit and debit cards will be accepted. This service is available at the Chickamauga Public Library, Rossville Public Library, LaFayette-Walker County Public Library and Dade County Public Library. A fee will be added per transaction. Transactions under $50 will add a 50ยข convenience fee, and transactions above $50 will add a $1 convenience fee. All refunds will require a receipt.
How about that last statement? Does that mean we could just walk in to the library off the street and ask or a cash refund. One they set their late fees so they can incorporate this when setting the fees. They can offer a cash or check discount. Here are some articles: http://doas.georgia.gov/StateLocal/SPD/ ... ceFees.pdf
