Hey man! Don’t Bundy that book!
I bet they were given numerous notices, chances to make good, chances to replace the books, and they ignored them all.
I would not be surprised if they turned out to be lifelong scofflaws.
Anyone who is stupid enough to walk into a public library today, which have morphed over the years into little castles of liberal thought and indoctrination, deserves exactly what he gets.
Submit to the bureaucrats or its jail time. These citizens must realize there is no easy way out.
Don’t mess with Bookman the library cop! Don’t be drawing wee wes and pee pees in A Cat in the Hat and the 5 Chinese Brothers!
If I am not mistaken every town has a vote on public library operations expansions and improvements this comes from the people, let the people decide when the vote comes up if they overreached thier bounds. Bye bye! Are they taking a page out of the arrogance book of the EPA, and IRS?
“because they lost a Dr. Seuss book borrowed by their teenage son in July 2014.”
Multiple points of interest in that phrase.
As a child, I worried about getting my books back to the library on time.

I thought librarys were just homeless shelters now
I’m not sure of this library policy; however, I lost a book that I borrowed from my local library. TBH.. I wasn’t sure if it had been stolen or simply fell out of the car. I went to the library and explained the situation and the librarian was great. She said that although I could “pay” for a brand new one (the cost was something like $45 dollars), I could “replace” it with another copy as long as it was in good condition. I bought one via Ebay for $1.25 and that was that. Plus, the one that I purchased via Ebay was in better condition than the one that was lost/stolen.
AKA "stealing."
Sic this librarian on Hillary
“Oh, the Places You’ll Go” when you don’t return a couple of books!
I’ve been a fine-collecting librarian for my children’s elementary school. I was told to recommend that people buy a used copy in good condition on Amazon and turn that in, if they couldn’t find the original. There’s no reason to get all nasty about it.
What cheeses me off on some of these stories is what I see as selective enforcement.
Granted, these people were at fault, but twice I have been to my small town Nevada library and seen some Mexican child walk in with a waist-to-chin stack of DVD that were overdue with the excuse “we have no mon-eee” - and the librarian rolls over. Note, the parents sit in the car and send the kid in.
I asked the librarian how they could take out so many DVDs (our limit is seven) and she said “multiple cards”. The Free Pass excuse? “Well, they are poor people” (the parent’s car was a late-model Toyota).
