also they don't charge late fees for books at my library, but they do for movies.

My library doesn't have late fees... The only allow two books at a time... And if you don't return one you can't get another...

Loved the book, loved the series. The scene where Snowden is shot.... One of the most gripping scenes I have ever witnessed.

I almost relish paying late fees. The bill is always tiny and I feel like it’s a better way to support a system I love than military taxes.
DinaRaven
I got an email saying I owe my uni library 140 euro for late fees. I don't know how to even approach that.

It's weird that libraries still charge late fees. Mine got rid of all in January. None on children's books for over ten years.
DreamingOfDistantShores
Yeah, the local libraries stopped charging fees here a few years ago. You just can't check out more till you return anything 'due'.

Wow they made that into a book?

Our library went cashless now. No fees at all.

The librarians just passionately, desperately, want every human being to be constantly reading, and I can think of no higher calling in life

My gym keeps charging me, but only allows cancellation in person... the gym is closed

My library doesn't have late fees anymore. They're more work than they're worth. But while they were closed, all books automatically renewed
bCheeseVoter
Libraries being closed is (after all the terrible serious stuff, of course) one of the things hitting me hardest
Logwarrior999
Funny, but untrue. The libraries almost unanimously froze overdue items when they closed down. Source, married to a librarian.
JohnMillswantstoupvote
I’ve always wondered is there a cap on fees that could be charged per book?
ThisIsMyUsername444
Yes at least in my library system
NoTribbleAtAll
Library I worked for did max $15 per book. Pretty common practice in public libraries with varying fine caps.

The book is catch-19
Cattwalking
My favorite"catch" is " we have the right to do anything you can't stop us from doing ". What a great f'n book.

We have a tool library in our neighborhood- when everything shut down they told my husband to keep everything until the pandemic was over
girthyafterbirth
Reminds me of my butthole gym that continued charging me into COVID even though they’re closed and I moved away.

Libraries already worked out that problem. But hey internet points cause why not.
thejohe
I owe 15 cents to my library n have the same issue except I borrowed the board game pandemic...

You could write a book about your experience. Call it Catch-23.

This is Catch-22, folks, not Catch-1...he should have done a better job of informing us he wasn't returning that book...

catch-22 while trying not to catch-19 in 2020?

Useless Trivia: Catch-22 was originally called Catch-18, but Leon Uris's "Mila 18" went on sale in August '61, three months before Catch-22.

Thats not a catch 22 though
Erasmus010
Well. It’s close enough
cpizza12
You're right, I don't get the downvotes
MasterChristopher
I thought this when I saw it on the FP a couple hours ago too.
DonGeilo2087
Why the fuck are people downvoting this? It would only be a Catch-22 if the library didn't accept the book BECAUSE the guy brought it back.

Oh look, it's raining on the parade.....
JakSandrow
Is it not? "a dilemma or difficult circumstance from which there is no escape because of mutually conflicting or dependent conditions."
hadtochangemyusernamecauseIgotdivorced
For those wondering, this turned out to be false. Library was automatically renewing the book but wasn't reflecting in OP's online account.

Also Picard was not sincerely applauding here. He was sucking up to a ruler to get a vaccine.

LoudAngryJerk
well at least it resulted in a funny meme, and more proof (as if more was needed) that NONE OF YOU ARE EVER TO BE TRUSTED AGAIN!

Pretty much every library is just renewing over and over. Or at least not charging fees.
ThrownClub
Op clearly did not read Catch 22

Too late, the mob is already on their way to burn the library.

yea libraries are usually pretty excellent dudes, if poor. it doesn't surprise me they set things up right, but a little wonky.
Xedi22
Yep. I found a late fee on my credit report years later. I found the book on my shelf and they charged me $0 and deleted the report.

Still a fun joke. I exhaled air from my nose forcefully.
