Library "Donations"

May 1st, 2012 at 02:12 pm

No matter how diligent I am, we end up paying overdue book fines to the library. Not all the time, but frequently.

So I've started posting the receipt (which lists all the books) right on the inside of the front door. It's not completely foolproof, but I think it is helping. Last week we checked out some DVDs, watched them, and got them turned in on time.

It's not as if we owe tons of fines, but it perhaps totals $20 a year. I try to look at is as if it's a membership fee. Did I mention that it's often a swim baby, and I'm not always to blame? In fact, since I've insisted that everyone keep the receipts and post them on the door, we haven't had any overdues.

On the list for today:
1. Find the cheapest gas I can. Time to fill up!
2. Laundry. Does it ever stop?!
3. Make homemade wheat thins. Dinner: salad, wheat thins, buffet of whatever is leftover in the fridge.

    Our library will email us two days prior to the due date, you might check if that is an option for you.

    Even if the library itself doesn't provide email reminders when items are coming due, you might be able to sign up for reminders through Library Elf. I use the free level of service; it seems like enough.

    Edit: the web address wasn't showing. It's www.libraryelf.com

    I'm not sure that even that would help! Life just gets busy and "tomorrow" suddenly goes by and it's next week! But I will check out libraryelf and give it a try.

    Our library doesn't offer the email reminder service. They only MAIL (with a stamp!) overdue notices. Archaic!
