Wow - that's a hefty sum in fines. I know I, as a library patron, was bombarded with information about the fines coming... I got emails, talked to staff (even though I only do self checkout) saw a bajillion brightly colored signs all over the checkout and drop off counters, and saw things posted all over the website. I hope you're in the minority.
thank you, thank you very much! ;) If i ever hear people complain when I'm in the library, I'll take 'em out back for you. ;)
Really? It's so dumb. Of course there are fines, folks, it's a library. We've gotten off SOOOO easy over the past umpteen years. People are LAME and you can tell them I told you. It's MY fault the books are late, therefore, it's MY responsibility to pay.Doesn't get much clearer than that!
LOL - Jackie, I do what I can.Sad thing is... I forgot the one that had a request on it... so I paid another 15 cents for today. ;) It's in my purse, and fortunately I work minutes from the downtown branch... it's getting dropped off before 7 am tomorrow!!! EESH!
Glad to know I'm not alone, though... ;)
I did... and I forgot. ;) LOL I get the emails and then think... OK, I should renew in 2-3 days. 5 or 6 days later... I owe $$. It says I'm at $5.60 right now, but i have to turn in a book tomorrow that's requested so it won't renew... which will add another 60 cents I think.I've gotta change how I do the library! ;)
I just need to say... is it sad that at the beginning of November I already owe above what I'm allowed to owe at the library? ;) It's only been, what? 5 weeks? Apparently I am a habitual offender... and need to put library late fines into my budget.
I just thought I'd share.

Never read Grisham? Wow... I like his lawyer stuff. And he wrote a silly short novel called Playing for Pizza that, while it was certainly not a literary great, was fun to read.
I got in an argument with my dad over this one...I DESPISED A Painted House by John Grisham.
I bored from the beginning, but with each turn of the page I kept hoping that classic Grisham would appear. But... page by never-ending page... NOTHING.
I like this thread... :)
I LOVED Pippi Longstocking. I WAS her for Halloween once. Straws in my hair made it stick out like hers....
LOL - yeah, that's what they told me, too. ;) Problem is... sometimes I use the hold list as a place to store books I WANT to read, just not RIGHT NOW. So they're all going on here. :DThe fines... October 1st (I did some sleuthing). Then I warned my whole family. I need to start practicing the overdue thing... i.e. NOT having them!
Hope you're all enjoying the SUNSHINE!!!
FINES?????? oh no... I'll REALLY have to read up about that - i LIVE in overdue land. YIKES!!Thanks for the welcome! It's good to be here :)
Hi everyone!
I'm new on this site (and quickly getting addicted) and just found this group. Headed here when I saw the sign in the library that they're cutting costs... which means that by July 1 my 80-100 book hold list has to be down to 25 (are they CRAZY?!). :)
Seriously, though - I've lived elsewhere, but Thurston county is HOME to me... and books are pretty much my favorite.
I'm looking forward to getting to know some of you! I anticipate I'll be on here as often as I am on Facebook... oy!
