So a few weeks ago, as you know, I got ambitious and took Jeremy to the library. It really wouldn't be that big of a deal except it kills my legs and back to walk around. So I thought we had all the library books gathered up and I checked our receipt from the library and returned them. Well somehow I missed one and the library let me know. I found it in Jeremy's room and put it out to return it but I kept forgetting on the rare occasion I left the house to take it with me. So the library sent me this notice telling me it was a misdemeanor to keep library books and all the ways I would be punished. Oh my gosh! I feel a little put out by this. I have been a responsible library patron for all of my 32 years and really, a misdemeanor? I think it should be a misdemeanor to pick your nose in public. So that's what I say to those library people who threaten me, go pick your nose, I'm sure no one is dying to read that book on the phases of the moon.

Um- I was dying to read that book about the phases of the moon and they kept telling me it was checked out for like weeks!! I've been so ticked off by this! It's people like you that can really make the library experience difficult. I hope the library persues this!!
JK! I kept a library book from when I was in college for over 5 years! It was lost in boxes and moved around a few times. When I finally felt guilty enough to suck it up and return it, they just charged me the cost of the book and didn't say a word about it! You must have a pretty hard-core librarian!
I had some library books for a while at the Goldenwest College/dating Jim time frame. They got left in his car for a long time. I think I finally returned them and they sent me a thing saying how much I owed, but that was it. I don't remember them threatening me with a misdemeanor.
Wow, our tax dollars at work! Seriously, I can stop by and pick up the book and drop it in the outside slot for you...
I bet the library board meets secretly, in the darkest part of the night, under the full moon, when they vote upon such important issues as when to arrest expectant moms, when to send them to jail. Just think, you might get some great food there, and you wouldn't even need to cook it.
I heartedly recommend the book entitled "Mama Went to Jail for the Vote" by Kathleen Karr. (checked out of the public library last week)
