Returning a library book after 27 years.

[Levo-Lon]

i think that's a wise move..

Are they still open ?

 

[marshmella]

Is the book still relevant in this day and age?

Much respect User46386!

My idea of a dangerous or "xtreme" sport is returning overdue library books

Once, I let the bill to my milkman run over a two week period!

Better hand yourself in to the cops.

Are you sure the library hasn't been bulldozed to make way for executive housing?

While working for the local council I got sent back to my old school which had been burgled, I was replacing the smashed in door to the science lab when I was approached by a young lad telling me the headmaster wanted a word, I duly popped down to his office and stood there receiving a lecture about the library book I had failed to return when I had left the school some years before, I did manage to find and return it next day though.

You probably only owe about a fiver.

My local library does DNA testing on books returned anonymously and overdue.



I just made that up!

When I forgot to return a library book once (or rather I lost it and couldn't be arsed to own up to it), I got a letter from the council a few months later to say that the fines had reached the level of the value of replacing the book (about £5 I think), so if I came down to the library to pay that amount, they'd waive any fines and I could keep the book. I did so and of course just a few days later, the book turned up in a pile of junk I swore I'd been through when looking for it!

I've a huge hardback book, an annual of modern cars, in the attic that I borrowed from a Library in 1973. I can't exactly recollect how this came about.

I may have to put an addendum in my Will for it to be paid from my Estate.

I've written a haiku for you

My library book
Is very much overdue
I shall take it back

Oh dear, I have just remembered borrowing a book from a forum member who is no longer active here. That must have been 7 or 8 years ago. I promised to return it after I finished reading it. Unfortunately, I never got round to reading the second half...

I will search for it, read it, and then see if I can track him down!
