We love books and sometimes even we ruin them by accident. They will love you even more than they do now when you demonstrate your integrity. :)Rose Stuarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01008124012828718076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8643075855683234513.post-82337677178454407672008-10-16T23:13:00.000-04:002008-10-16T23:13:00.000-04:00I had a good reputation at my local library.

I convinced our lovely librarian the system had glitched and came home satisfied. To find the book covered by a magazine under the coffee table. <BR/><BR/>Moral dilemma. Should I preserve my totally undeserved but unsullied reputation, or return the book and eat humble pie.<BR/><BR/>Anyone for a sliver of pie?<BR/><BR/>Susan, The Book ChookAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04113040933471342666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8643075855683234513.post-13558249674364515642008-10-08T00:23:00.000-04:002008-10-08T00:23:00.000-04:00I have so done this before!

Recently, I returned a book but it wasn't checked in with the library. Before I had a chance to talk with the librarians it became overdue so I renewed it so I wouldn't have to pay a fine. They asked me why would I renew it if I swore I had already returned it? I was worried about the fine of course.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8643075855683234513.post-76740444661727829092008-10-07T22:40:00.000-04:002008-10-07T22:40:00.000-04:00Yup - and when you factor in all the fines we coul...Yup - and when you factor in all the fines we <I>could</I> be paying and add them to our salary, librarians actually make tons of money! :-)Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09551558744801344170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8643075855683234513.post-50055222640561807542008-10-07T21:08:00.000-04:002008-10-07T21:08:00.000-04:00Heather J.: I feel your pain.
