It used to drive me nuts how I would never know what was due or when. Now our library sends out email reminders when something is due, and weekly ones telling you what you have out. It's very helpful. I wonder how much my family has paid in library overdue fees?

Once we lost a book and had to pay more than ten dollars in late fees! We'd thought the book was ours or we couldn't find it or we thought we'd already returned it, one of those partially true excuses will suffice for now.

I've never had to pay a fine on a book, but I came awfully close on one that my dad checked out on my card. He didn't return it until last minute, so the library had me listed as owing a fine, but I guess they changed it when they saw the book in the drop box. *whew*

You've never had to pay a fine??? Wow. It's rather annoying, because several times we have had our librarians tell us for several weeks that we had a book overdue, which we swore we returned, then it turns up on the library shelf and they just forgot to mark it returned before putting it away.

Haha, I thought my library was the only one that did that. It happens all the time...we usually call and ask them to check the shelf, and it's amazing how fast those librarians go from "WHY didn't you RETURN it on TIME?!" mode to professing all manner of apologies.
I always have fines on my card (right now it's $9.20, but in my defence, most of that was a CD someone else checked out on my card...) but they don't stop you checking things out until you reach $30 so I've only paid three or four dollars. *feels evil*
Though we've had our share of books dropped in puddles, things spilled on books, books accidentally set on fire, etc etc.

LoL @ Alyosha! What's with setting books on fire? *is curious* This thread is getting WAY off-topic. When you answer, why don't you start a new thread about library fines and such?

I started a new thread, so post replies to the library discussion over there.
