http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/01/03/library-sends-police-5-year-old_n_1181916.html?ref=books&icid=maing-grid10%7Chtmlws-main-bb%7Cdl12%7Csec1 _lnk1%26pLid%3D124612
this seems like overkill, the parents say they never got any notice (i'm thinking that's not true but it could be) the library said the called, emailed sent notices
if the library did all that and the parents just ignored them and were trying to score some free books (you think they'd notice some books around that were not theirs) i put most of the blame on the parents, not sure what else the library can do if people keep ignoring notices and such...books aren't cheap
poor cop was embarrassed though
i'm wondering if the library will get a bunch of overdue books returned because of this

I can't imagine branch Libraries being around much longer. No money for Libraries, most people use kindles/nooks. In 20 years if every city has 1 Library left I bet that will be a lot.

I get 2 books out a week from my local library. Ours is heavily used.

My wife and I get 5-10 books every week from our library.
Most are for the kids, but it's nice being able to read books without having to buy the damn things and add to the clutter, and neither of us are fans of reading electronic books.

I call BS on this. Why? Because America is the greatest country in the world and this type of stuff wouldn't happen in the greatest country in the world, therefor it is false.

First thing that popped into my mind was a Stephen King short story The Library Policeman... Read it, it will freak you out. It's part of his Four Past Midnight collection.

I love my Kindles (two regular and one Fire) but I will never give one to my kids until Amazon puts in a way to password protect purchases on it. Simple as that.
