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.

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.

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.
