Or they found out that the free accounts were being abused somehow. Meaning someone created an account for a senior citizen and then used it themselves in order to avoid paying the fee.

Those are two possible scenarios that could lead to them discountinuing that policy. The Library needs to make sure it has enough revenue to continue providing services. With declining revenues due to shrinking tax bases because of a struggling economy, it is more then possible that the library had a practicle reason for ending a policy that they would otherwise want to continue.
