Wow, $1000? Bit unnecessary! Although it certainly wouldn't be enough, since they said it was $750 at 2 cents a day rate in the 1950s, and inflation would make that $750 waaaaay more than $1000 in no time at all.

I just read about this!
Whoever returned it must be such a sweet person. To think to return them along with more than needed for fines? They're really generous, whoever they are. |

o_0 The system should have kicked it out and forced the kid to buy a new copy after like half a year. That's just silly really. The only reason why there are library fines is because librarys want their books back.

That's hilarious... it's nice that the person bothered to return it with the money though. I mean... it's kind of obvious that the library wasn't going to come collecting.

QUOTE (Steph @ Nov 16 2009, 01:23 AM)  They didn't have a "system" 50 years ago. I didn't mean computer system, I ment school system. They should've had his name on record somewhere, although if he moved it would have been hard to get the money out of him. |
