Don't we have some folks here who have collections placed on thier reports due to overdue library books? Hope you don't live in PA. ;~) Woman Jailed For Overdue Books 24-Year-Old Owes $120 Posted: 9:38 a.m. EDT April 11, 2002 HAZELTON, Pa. -- A judge has thrown the book at a Pennsylvania woman who didn't pay her library fine. The judge sentenced 24-year-old Theresa Keller to jail this week until she forks over $120 in late fees for three overdue books. Reference librarian Jane Dougherty filed a private criminal complaint against Keller for not returning the books -- "Star Trek," "Triangle," and "Fall of Freddie the Leaf." Dougherty said charges are filed against patrons who don't pay a bill or return books after the library sends them a notice. Those who ignore a court summons are sent to jail. The books were checked out Sept. 14, 2000. Keller was sent a bill the next month, charging her $40 per book. Keller declined to comment.
