library fines

Kevin and I have a profound difference of opinion when it comes to library fines.  He thinks they are a waste of money.  I think it's very cheap entertainment.

I probably spend about $20/year on fines.   Occasionally, it is because I forget to return something but most often it is a conscious decision.  If I am in the middle of reading something when it becomes due and I am unable to renew it, I usually keep it until I finish it.  I figure the 15 cents a day is worth it!  I rarely buy books but use the library to read about 7-8 books per month.  That is 80-90 books per year for $20 which is a huge bargain!
