So I was curious to find out how much I have paid in the past few years in overdue fines.
Are you ready?
Don't tell this to my daughter but since 2012, I have paid more than $80 for 117 overdue items.
Oops!
But the way I see it, that was a great bargain. If I wanted to purchase those 117 books from a bookstore. Those 117 books would be costing me almost $3000.
You see, it was a bargain. I read 117 books for the price of $80. If I was a bit more diligent, those 117 books would have cost me $0.00.

Every time I pay library fine, I tell myself that the money goes to a good cause.
That brings me to another point. I wish we all remind ourselves to donate money to our local libraries.
When you donate money to your library, you would receive a receipt for your donation and your money would be used to purchase more books for the entire community to enjoy.
This book is one of my favorite non-fiction books. |
Let's all be literacy superheros and fund libraries in our community.
Library has books for everyone. |
The way I see it, an educated community is a much better community to live in.
