At some point a book’s value will far outweight the fine amount. A fine should be max’ed out at like 10 times the price of the book.

That would be a heartstopper.

Book was due 58 years ago. British cop probably stopped him and asked ‘who do you think you are, Stirling Moss?’.

I guess librarians and reporters don’t do math. 25 cents per day for 58 years is roughly $5300.

Most California libraries have done away with late book fines, thus essentially given people the OK to “steal” the books.

The reason?

“The burden of administrative fines and fees can create financial strain for low-income families and can contribute to a cycle of economic hardship. Recent actions statewide have brought to light the concept that administrative fees can have a disproportionate impact on vulnerable individuals, particularly youth, non-citizens, and people of color.”

Another wonderful way by leftists to teach people about personal responsibility.
