To Return or Not to Return
From the Guardian:
Library fines could become a thing of the past if a group of librarians get their way. A fiery debate has been raging for the past week between librarians, with anti-fine campaigners describing the charges as punitive, old-fashioned and creating a negative impression of libraries.

Maybe it is something like traffic tickets. I have heard that in Ann Arbor, they LOSE money by giving out tickets because of the paperwork involved.

I'm completely on the anti-fine bus. I never use libraries because it always cheaper for me to just buy the books.

I'm an anti-finer as well. But, man, if it's cheaper to buy, then your overdue books must be really overdue...
