This would be fantastic. At CHPL, we went fine free during the first summer of the pandemic & as much as that burden might have been lifted from the shoulders of delinquent patrons, it also means longer hold queues, more empty shelves, increased wait times & possibly even purchasing additional copies of something we already have, that we wouldn't likely see if patrons were more beholden to due dates.
We kind of do this already, using the highest level overdues to block borrowing at a certain point in the notice cycle, but would also like to see it based on the number of items.
I'm pretty sure I'd posted this idea previously, along with the addition of a block based on the number of items claimed returned, but neither came to fruition. Would love to see that change, giving fine free libraries more options to help improve materials recovery.

While we certainly wouldn't mind seeing some new material type icons added to the WebPAC, our Cataloging team is eager to see more & more modern options made available in the SDA, or for Sierra to be able to support the inclusion of custom/locally crafted material type icons.

This would be a nice change. I've worked with Unique for 25 years now & as much as their process has continued to change to make things even easier on patrons, there's still a benefit to softening the language a bit. Where I can, I've changed the language as much as possible from "collection agency" to "materials recovery partner."
