I am horrible about sending books back to the library on time! I have a lot of fines on my library card. Thankfully, my library doesn't ever block you from borrowing so, I keep reading!!

Nope, I always remember to return on time!
-
Ughhh, I owe them $13 but I will dispute it! My books were due on 12/15 Saturday and I returned them on the 14th through the book drop because the library is closed on Fridays. I got an email about my overdue book charges!
-
Haha... I'm terrible...I work in an academic library (where I have no fines!) but I owe $$ to the public library... like 2$ or something... so bad!!
-
ugh. yes, we had snow days, were sick & with the holidays it just screwing up my routine! i don't think it's fair to charge for days you're not open, but whatever, january is 'foods for fines' month, so i'll just bring in food and have them wiped out =) they freeze you at $10, but they charge $1/day per DVD and we had 4 that that we were stuck with for a long weekend so that added up quickly!
-
Yes and I'm a school librarian so shame on me! Haha
-
Never - I put an alert on my phone when I take stuff out. I'm sure it could change when LO is here though!
-
Haha yes, I think I owe some money. No excuse though because it's so easy to just renew online.
-
No fines for library employees = a lifesaver.
-
I don't think so. I've wracked up late fees before though.
-
Yes. SO stupid! I apparently have fines for 2 books from way back when I was in H.S. or college that I NEVER borrowed! It wasn't the first time they had mixed up my account with someone else's - in H.S. I actually physically found the book that they said I borrowed and never returned - but since I didn't know about this for years, there's nothing I can do. Fast forward more than a decade later and I think I should borrow a book at my current local library and they keep ALL the library cards linked in my county! So I can't borrow anything unless I pay like $90 for these 2 books I've never borrowed. F* that! I never go to the library.

@swedishfish: me too and me too!! Good thing I don't incur finds from my own library, or I'd be spending my whole paycheck on fines!!
-
Yes! I just talked to DH today about this, I was going to take DS to the library but I really don't feel like paying $10 for my over draft fee's!
-
i don't owe right now, but i normally do, i'm terrible at returning on time!
the awesome thing is that my library tops out at $1 per book for fines - i had books for over a year that somehow got lost in my office, and i only paid $2 to return them and get back on the good side
-
No, but only because I don't have a library card right now!!!
-
No. I think I did once when I was in elementary school. Our library now sends email reminders two days before the book is due back, and they have a drive-up drop-off. Every so often the do a drive where they waive your overdue fees if you bring in food donations for the local pantry.
-
I don't right now, but that's because I just paid $13 in fines. I generally don't mind paying. It's my fault AND I'm saving a ton by no longer buying lots of books. I renewed my love affair with the public library about a year ago.
-
Under my maiden name, yes. Somw book a friwnd borrowed on my card in HS. Lame.So, I got a new card when I got married and fibbed to say I never had a card in their system before...oops! Such a rebel. Also, I have every single book on Georgia O'Keefe I could get my hands on from the library in the city where I used to live from a project and paper I did in college. One day soon, I hope to at least bring them back even if I never pay the fines because I feel bad about it!

@Mrs. Tricycle: haha, I'm glad I can keep the school library books as long as I need! I keep forgetting that I don't work at the public library anymore so I rack up fines now.
