----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bring it back NOWWW!!! An actual phone conversation that I had with a library patron at work: Me: Good afternoon, Blah-di-blah library. Reader speaking. Weirdo: Yeah. I got a letter from you saying that my book is overdue. Me: Yes, we do send those out. Weirdo: Yeah. Umm..it says it�s overdue and I wanted to know if you could tell me when I have to have it back by. Me: Wellllll, the letter means it�s already overdue so that means you have to bring it back right away. Weirdo: Yeah, but when is the latest I can bring it back. It says that you will only charge a maximum of $6. So when do I have to have it back by. Can I bring it on Friday? I need it for a project. Me: Well, that is correct � we do cap the fines at $6 but you have to bring the book back. It�s already way overdue. It was due back on October 3rd. Weirdo: I can�t bring it back on Friday, then? Me: (long, slow, deep breath): Welllll, that�s up to you but you run the risk of that debt going to the collection agency. Weirdo: Oh. Okay. Yeah. Thanks. Bye.
