Libraries are free in US. Some have late fees. Ours has not yet. Tax $$ at work. I don't mind at all. Well worth the money.

So are libraries free here too. Lending books, CD:s, videotapes, DVD:s, magazines, CD-roms and using Internet is free.
Reservations costs (0,80 e/0,50 e) and of course we have late fees too (0,10 e/day/loan)
And I think at if you lost or destroy your library card, the customer must pay something at get new card (3 euros).

BTW 1 euro = about 1 U.S. dollar.
