It is the honest library patrons, those who never return anything late without a good reason (and still feel guilty about doing it) who suffer. It's time the "me people" pay a price for their ego problems.Sam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-45498713940958583162010-03-15T21:15:20.059-05:002010-03-15T21:15:20.059-05:00Good points, PickyGirl.

I agree that the authorities have to be very careful in cases like these...and I think that arrest is a bit over the top but I do think that large fines are appropriate. I really get irritated when I try to reserve a book or movie and find out that it is "missing." "Missing is just not the right word...go after the thief and make him pay, is the answer.Sam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-19559453420367706372010-03-15T21:12:47.070-05:002010-03-15T21:12:47.070-05:00I agree, Mike.

The library didn't necessarily know that the address they were sending the notices to was old, because they received no notification of any kind that it was old. As far as they knew, he was getting the notices and just ignoring them. I don't think the library was at fault here, although I can also understand Henson's A Library Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06144279685884011943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-56835918716151531832010-03-11T22:19:23.482-06:002010-03-11T22:19:23.482-06:00I don't know.
