Library offenders to be 'Booked'

Librarians in Bay City, Michigan are sick and tired of repeat 'overdue book' offenders. They hope to send these offenders to jail for up to 90 days. The Bay County Library Board is considering granting permission to seek arrest warrants for those who do not abide by their overdue notices. In one year, the library loses $25, 000 worth of materials, all of which is paid back by tax payers because the materials usually need to be replaced. This also cuts down on the availability of new items because they cannon be afforded. One offender for example, has $1,190 in fines for 73 books. This is a ridiculous amount of fines and this man deserves to be 'booked.'
