the fines for a book out for over 16 years would be quite hefty
@donnatella: I tried to check out an e-book from HCPL a few months ago and had >$30 worth of fines. Â DS had checked out a couple of books on my card...he says he couldn't find his...and failed to return them. Â I wanted to be mad but realized that I have a teenager that loves to read and has his own library card so I let it slide.
@Boobear's fine would probably subsidize half the city budget after this long. 4951
