We Love Durham NC

Thank You

We are the Library Family for the boy’s classroom and the due date often slips notice until I get The Call. I received two calls this time, and the second one was quite stern. By the time I located all the books and got them back to the library (it was a sizable project-quarter’s worth), the bill was $64. I have learned not to flinch, and the librarians have truly been very kind in the past. Today I found out there’s a maximum late charge of $25, so I was in major luck. Durham County Public Librarians, how do we love you? Let me count the ways… (And I promise, really promise, to stop having overdue books.)

   you know, you can check the status of your library account online.and you can renew books and ask for holds too. it saves lots of troubles at times.

   Yes, that is a good point. The particular problem with the classroom books is that I don’t see them & therefore don’t think of them. If you get 50 books a few days late, your late charges are too high to renew online. :(

   You should try Library Elf (http://www.libraryelf.com/) — it’ll change your life. E-mail alerts before the books are due!
