Library Fines
| We use our local library... a lot! And occasionally we end up with fines (especially when I record the due date on the wrong date in my calendar.) Both my youngest and oldest sons had fines on their accounts, I had every intention of paying them the last time we were there. They usually must pay their own fines, but see aforementioned calendar goof. However as the librarian was checking out their books she mentioned a program the library was doing for the summer that allows the kids to come into the library and receive a $1 credit towards thier fines for every 15 minutes they read while there. So when we went yesterday to get new books, I had them each pick out a book and read for 30 minutes instead of playing with KidPix while their other brother picked out his books (he takes a long time to find books he wants, I have a 5 book limit and he has a hard time narrowing it down.) So I saved $4, leaving only a $0.20 fine to pay and we didn't have to take any more time than we would have normally spent. |
