Library Wants Its Books Back

The Ulysses Library is cracking down on people with overdue books.

41-year-old Margaret Middaugh of Ulysses and 50-year-old Teresa Batterson of Galeton each have books that have been overdue since September. Police say they failed to return the books after receiving letters from the library asking that they be returned.

Adelphoi Village in Harrison Valley has two books that have been overdue since November.

Police say they will be charged with retention of library property after notice to return.

Since Governor Rendell has proposed $7.5 million in additional cuts to public libraries, I bet we'll be seeing a lot more of this.

with the economy the way it is i'm surprised more libraries aren't having this problem. "borrowing" a book from the library is way cheaper than buying one and if you know the libray isn't going to do anyting about it. heck, keep the book.
