I’m guessing the fines are now more than a quarter.

So library officials are turning to the city’s official bill collectors — the Office of Treasurer and Tax Collector’s Bureau of Delinquent Revenue — to track down dead beat patrons.But don't worry, Illegal Aliens, Dopers, Homos and Negro criminals will be exempt.

More than 10,000 patrons took advantage of the amnesty — returning 699,563 borrowed materials.
That's 70 different pieces per borrower. I know of no library that lets you take out 70 items at a time.

I am ALL for this. We lose too much materials (that belong to the public) than we should.
Drop a hammer on them!

“The former president borrowed The Law of Nations by Emer de Vattel on 5 October 1789, according to the records of the New York Society Library.
Staff discovered it was missing when they conducted an inventory of books in the library’s 1789-1792 ledger earlier this year. Washington had never returned the book – an essay on international affairs – to the library, which shared a building with the federal government at the time and was used by members of Congress and the cabinet as well as the president. The former president’s overdue fines, it has been calculated, would theoretically amount to $300,000 (£209,000).”
