We rack up fines like that and then some. Fortunately, we have a great little library with wonderful librarians and we pay our fine like once a year. In January they always have a 'food for fines' week. It is then that I get ours paid. I've had to pay at times over 100 dollars during that month. But here is how it works. ANY food item equals 1.00 in fines. And they love it when we bring quick foods like mac and cheese and cans of soup. Saves me $$ and helps out the hungry. But for the books we lose we have to pay for those outright with cash. And that happens more times than I like.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00444896414475893411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3240261036066801709.post-15269037587030658552011-10-24T08:57:31.852-07:002011-10-24T08:57:31.852-07:00I am sure that I personally paid for the recent re...I am sure that I personally paid for the recent renovations at our library. I have 'tried' to quit checking out so many books, but I can't. I put a huge library basket by the front door for library books only. Now we check out only 3 at a time, but I still find they don't always get to the basket. But my kids are old enough to keep track of 3 books, checked out on their card, for two weeks, overdue they have to pay or do extra chores for the money. So far no overdue books (except mine of course)!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
