I'm laughing at myself now, but I was fuming a bit an hour ago! I still love the library, but they can be a lot of pain when it comes to charging fees!
Remember those dvds and books I mentioned in my other article....? Yeah, I received a phone call, right after I wrote the other one (though my views still remains!) my daughter had a missing disk in one of her returns. I usually check the cases, but being in a hurry, I forgot to do that this time!
I still had time to return it because I didn't want my daughter's card to be charged. So off I went back to the library with her in tow! I pulled up to the window, (it was easier) they informed me that I will still be charged the five bucks for a processing fee! I said "But I returned the dvd, and the deadline hasn't passed, it is due today" An older librarian came to the window and told me that because someone had to call me, and because letters are processed and whatever they have to do, they are charging the fee. Well, dang it, this is unfair! (I said to myself) I'm glad I received the phone call but come on?!
Fume!
The library still rocks, but their new fee system is just crappy! I know that because of the economy and many cuts in their funding they have been really charging for every little thing these days. I'm all for them receiving their monies and all, but come on!
Fume!
So I paid the darn fee....grudgingly....in protest...as I drove off I mumbled to myself to write a letter protesting the unfairness of it all! I could understand had I not returned it the day it is due, but come on!
I still love the library (how's that for arguing against myself uh?!)
Fume!
