[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had bed bugs when I was a grad student. I quarantined my library books in my work office for a year and then returned them. One was an inter library loan that was recalled. I tried to explain to a librarian about the bed bugs and why I had put the book in my work office on campus for so long. She didn't care and I was charged a lot of money. While I did the right thing for the university library (my home one and the lending one), if i had known a bonehead university librarian would have been such a jerk about me keeping bed bugs out of the library, I would have saved my self hundreds in library fines and returned the darn book. I don't trust library books after this because while I did the right thing, it is up the library to take care of their books.[/quote]

You did not return the book on time. Hence, fines.

Why on earth did you not return the book, explaining the situation?  You can’t just take matters into your own hands, because you think you’re smarter than people who know how to address the problem correctly. [/quote]
