I believe it was the citation that screwed her - so to speak. I think it’s awesome btw - learn to share bitches

It’s not common, but not unheard-of, either, and depends on local laws and how they’re enforced. The library has to have some recourse for books that don’t get returned, otherwise they’d be irresponsibly managing taxpayers’ property. Note that the young lady in WI didn’t just ignore an overdue notice, she ignored a COURT CITATION “issued after she failed to respond to letters and phone calls from the Grafton library.”

I was told that years ago at the DeWitt Library the Board members would go to the houses of delinquent patrons and ask for the books they had check out and not returned.
