Funny story
Dec. 13th, 2004 04:59 amI went home a couple weeks ago and my mom gave me all my accumulated mail, right? Well, in the pile was a harmless looking letter from the Tolono Public Library. (Tolono is another teeny weeny town near mine.) I opened it, and inside was a letter informing me I owed them $8.00 in fines for "The Unicycle Book."
I checked that book out from MY library when I was 13 years old.
It's been EIGHT YEARS, and NOW they decide to fine me?
First of all, I've never been to the Tolono Library. Did my library get the book through inter-library loan? Second of all, I RETURNED THE BOOK. EIGHT YEARS AGO. I re-checked it out once because I was still learning to ride my unicycle (yes, I *am* a dork, thank you). But then I returned the book.
One wonders if the book ran away to join the circus. After all, it obviously wasn't getting very good care from its Library if it took them the better part of a decade to realize it was missing.
And that's my fun library book anecdote for the evening.
