return my overdue library books

I’m so scared. My books are two months overdue. I think I may pop them into the box so I don’t have to have any contact with the staff. Then I’ll never take out a book ever again. Because I’m too scared to be told I have to pay a fine. I’m just a big coward who loves books too much.

i cant find them :(

A friend was going to the library to set up a new account and I threw my Learning Italian dvd at her and said “Just take it! Take it away!” and it’s gone… :) Now I have to wait until they check it back into their system and see how much my fine is. I do feel much better though! And it’s always nice to check off a 43things goal.

I have always had a problem with returning libary books but I tried so hard this summer since I got my daughter a card. We did really well for awhile but then I rented two dvds; one about Ansel Adams and one to learn Italian. I returned Ansel after a month but I can’t bring myself to return the Italian dvd because I still haven’t learned it! I know once I give it back, I’ll have so many fines I won’t be able to borrow. Poo.

Done like bellbottoms!

Dropped them off at the counter, but she couldn’t tell me how much I owed because their computers were down. That just saves me from the red face in front of the librarian.

Then G wanted to go in and read books, and so we did. No guilt.

because I’m trying to get rid of goals, and it’s not like I can give up on this because my fines will keep piling up. And this isn’t some sort of semantics thing. This is just something to DO, and action to take and have it be done, not a state of being.

from being overwhelmed with late stage pregnancy and toddler, to being overwhelmed with newborn and toddler, to not having the time, to it being too hot to walk to the library, to not having the cash for the fine, to just darned not feeling like it.

All excuses. And I actually don’t have the fine, right now.

Maybe I should just drop the derned thing in the drop box so I don’t have to guiltily face the librarians. Maybe then I can start visiting the library with the little-uns because I won’t be hiding my shame-faced self.

I feel so free. I returned a library book that was 2 years overdue. However, I was a coward and simply put it in the overnight drop box. I am ashamed for practically stealing a library book and from now on, I suppose I will just get all of my reading material from the store.

But they’re so goddamned good =(

but i didn’t pay the fine yet. i’ll pay it when i need to check out a book next.
