Reformed Library User

Not only did I return my books in the month they were due, I payed my fines in the year they were levied. I am rising above my delinquent library status.

A sad fact in my past library life is that I USED TO only pay enough of my overwhelming fines to keep me under the $25 maximum limit. But not now; now, I pay the whole fine. I do not wait for the dollars to slowly pile up, and then dole out quarters and dimes to keep my library account afloat. I pay the whole dollar. Slightly because of sheer guilt and terror - the older librarians know stern like they were schooled in it. But slightly more because I am a good library user.

Such a sign of maturity.

I think if you should become a librarian someday this personal growth will have been an important step.
