| | so this summer i let my sister borrow my library card. i warned her to bring the books back so i didn't have to pay the late fees. today i got this in the mail...
dear jolene m harrigan,
please take notice that the prompt return of the following item borrowed by you from the Potsdam Public Library is requested:
the book.
please be informed that all your borrowing privileges are suspended until this matter is settled. please take further notice that unless these materials are returned within 15 days of this notice that we will begin to pursue legal action with the local authorities in accordance with section 265 of the education law printed below.
law #265. detention. whoever willfully detains any book, newspaper, magazine, pamphlet, manuscript or other property belonging to any public or incorporated library, reading room, museum or other educational institution, for thirty days after notice in writing to return the same, given after the expiration of the time which by the rules of such institution, such article or other property may be kept, shall be punished by a fine of not less than one nor more than 25 dollars, or by imprisonment in jail not exceeding six months, and the said notice shall bear on its face a copy of this section.
so i could have to give them 25 dollars, or go to jail for 6 months? those two are comparable? what?
on a more fun note, i get to buy steel drums for school. that will be fun.
