Yes, thats right.
Got fees for lost or damaged Worcester Public Library items?
the library wrote on its website.
Show us a picture of a cat (any cat)* and we will forgive your fees.
We librarians love our cats, Jason told the outlet.
Were really leaning in on the fact that, all in all, librarians are cat people…
So we thought, Lets lean in on the joke.
Lets be part of the joke, and lets have fun together.'
We know life gets in the way, he said.
We at the Worcester Public Library are always looking for ways to reduce barriers, Jason told WBUR.
And the same number of people have had their library accounts unblocked or their borrowing privileges restored.
We take a lot of honorary cats, Jason wasquotedsaying.
Jason also explained that March Meowness has helped them break the stereotype of librarians always being uptight.
We dont really have the high buns and shush people anymore, he said.
We are still book lovers, cardigan lovers, and cat lovers.
