That first part I know. We don't have to anonymize closed loans with associated fees/fines.

And I think you are confirming that if we anonymize closed loans with associated fees/fines, then patrons WILL have mystery fees associated with their account. 

Maybe this is more of a question for the 2024 migration folks. I'm just trying to figure out how this actually works and what libraries are choosing to do about it.

Hi Rachel,

If you check the box for "Treat closed loans with associated fee/fines differently" then you can set things up so that the associated loan isn't anonymized until the fee/fine is closed. That way you never have a mystery fee/fine on a user's account.

I'm not entirely sure what to do about Circ Anonymization for closed loans with associated fees. 

If we anonymize these does that mean when we go to a patron account and they have a fee on their account, we will not be able to tell them what the fee is for?
