The kids & I went to the library many times over the summer. We checked out lots of books & movies & had a great time reading.Well, the other day I found a library book on our shelf that was due sometime in June! Oops! So, I was thinking 'no big deal' Our library has a program called 'fine-free Fridays' where they take the fines off if you bring your over-due books in on Friday. I waited until tonight (friday) to take our 'little brown bear' book back to get the fine taken off.
Well, I took the book in & gave it to the librarian & told her I was lucky to bring it in on Friday to get the fine taken off. She goes on to tell me that 'fine-free Friday' ended the last week in September, which was last Friday! You should have seen me just stare at her! I was SO irritated! "That'll be $5" she said. I just stared, like she was kidding. I reluctantly paid her. I asked if they announced it in the weekly email (that I get from the library) that it was ending. She said "probably" I thought 'yeah, right!' They didn't WANT to let anyone know. They just wanted to rake it in! UGH!
I don't even remember reading that book. It would have been better if there was some kind of bonding with the children memory of it or something!!Yes, it was only $5, I need to remember that, and it wasn't the librarians fault. I was just so frustrated that it ended last week! And why don't they have some kind of system that notifies you if you have a book that's over 3 months overdue? Needless to say, we checked out MORE books (I counted how many we had this time)& gave the librarian a VERY fake smile on the way out! I think I need to write someone a letter....

Oh, I would hate that. You are a lot nicer than I would have been. Shane wants your number to call your husband about that place and that thing. So e-mail me will you. sandbjohnson4@msn.com
How annoying! Im actually suprised it was only 5 dollars for 3 months. I think its like 10 cents a day here. (Something like that)
Lisa, I just laughed and laughed at your last post about the library. I could just picture you in my mind. I am still laughing when I think about it. How fun?????????
