Library Trauma Averted!

Fines happen, right? They happen to me quite a bit, despite my efforts at being really grown-up and able to return things when I say,or at least call up and renew books before they are due. What I really struggle with is my desire to have a no-fine library. But since that's not reality yet, I have to think of creative ways of dealing with fines.

Sometimes I pay them a couple of dollars at a time. Sometimes I have the kids pay their own fines out of their $ or the results of car seat diving. Sometimes. like today, I snag the ever sweet and patient librarian Jackie, and ask if I can trade my fines for two high quality movies (Finding Nemo, and Pre-Natal yoga). She always says yes!
