<DIV><FONT face=Arial><SPAN class=879194918-01032012><STRONG>QUESTION</STRONG>:
</SPAN>If you are an Oregon public library, do you keep your late (and<SPAN
class=879194918-01032012>/or</SPAN> other) fines/fees for the library itself or
are those revenues turned over to your jurisdiction's general fund?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>If you know of <SPAN class=879194918-01032012>a
</SPAN>report <SPAN class=879194918-01032012>(of fairly recent vintage)

class=879194918-01032012>it is </SPAN>not necessary<SPAN
