Meanwhile, in libraries: "I'm being laid off? WHY? No budget for so many staff? But I'm only part time, I don't even get health insurance... PLEASE, I'll lose my house!"
lol, good job, OP - really stuck it to the man!

True.
And it's not like those fees don't cap before they hit a point where they'd be meaningful in that way.
Also not a good idea to piss off librarians though.
It is if you want them amgry enough to come after you, so you can do a meet~~cute~~barfight with them.
No, of course, not. but it ads insult to injury of a municipal service that already struggles to maintain a shoestring budget.
I’m pretty sure they don’t rely on fines to operate.
No, but their budgets are already shot. It ads insult to injury.
I don't think you understand how libraries function. It's not Blockbuster
It's that libraries are already over-extended in terms of budget. Running up fines by depriving a library the only resources it has, books on shelves that people check out, only hurts the few people still using libraries.
