The Library Police should definitely be issued cattle prods.

I never understood the “fine free” policies which are sweeping libraries across the nation. Are they considered “racissss?”

What incentive is there to return a book anymore?

My guess is that the person who borrowed it died and his/her heirs returned it.

Our County libraries quit charging fines decades ago. I think failing to return could cause your privileges to be shut down, though.

Most libraries have days you can return a long overdue book and no fine will be charged.

Never take any course where they make you read “Beowulf” (or I personally would add “Gravity’s Rainbow”).
