A friend of mine volunteers at a neighborhood library which lends books with Jewish themes. She told me that she was assigned the task last week to phone people who had been negligent in returning books. Some had the books in their possession for two years. One woman paid a hefty fine which cost more than the book itself. Another woman claimed that her child had returned the book.
One time I was asked by the librarian to help her compose the words to a sticker which would be place on the first page of the book, admonishing people not to eat while reading the book becausee some of the books had been returned with food stains.
Does anyone have abook that they haven't returned? Why not bring it back TODAY!!!!
