He should turn the page on that behavior, time to start a new chapter in his life. The question is, does he have the spine to cover his fine, or will he always fall prey to hard binding?
He was hoping they would never fine him. The library didn’t know if they would ever fine him. Now they are confident they can fine him again if they need to.
“New York City PublicLibrary is ending latefees foreverThe library system also said that allcardholders have had their accountswiped of any outstanding”
When I had a physical medical library, I didn’t bother with the accounting that fines would entail, but would send reminders if something was a week overdue, then a couple biweekly reminders after that. January-November any fourth notice would go to an employee’s supervisor, those for docs to the chair of the CME Committee, which doubled as their Library committee. In December the fourth notice would read, “Ho, Library customers, one and all, / Father Christmas is coming to call. / Your overdue books and tapes try to remember / To bring on the 23rd day of December. / If you’re good, and you have them, he’ll give you a treat; / If not – what you WILL get is oft used for heat. / (Of course, such embarrassment won’t be in store / If you deign to return or renew them before.)” I at least once showed up at a doc’s office in a holly wreath and long green robe, with candy and a Kingsford charcoal briquet wrapped in a note that the K meant it came from Kris Kringle, their memory to tingle.

With today’s E-libraries, couldn’t you return a book with the press of a key (that and pay the fine on any overdue books)? ;D

If he lives in New York City, he will be fine.
