TODDLERS' STORYTIME - For two year olds already registered in the summer session. Thursdays at 10:15 a.m. Call us to register for the Fall session. "The paired bztterflies are already yellow with kugzst" - Three weeks after a book becomes overdue the computer automatically produces a reminder, addressed to the patron and ready for mailing. Five weeks later a final message is sent. If after 90 days the situation has not been resolved in some way, the computer automatically blocks the patron's card, preventing further borrowing. Similarly, accumulated fines of $10.00 cause a patron's card to be blocked. If this sounds somewhat Orwellian, it shouldn't. The maximum fine charged for ·ny adult book is $2.00 (@ 10c per day); tor each children's book it is $1.00 ( 2ç per day). A very few people never get around to bringing their books back at all, through laziness or embarrassment perhaps, or fear that the fine has grown too large. Or perhaps they're waiting for one of the old "amnesty" days, when all outstanding fines used to be waived in order to encourage the return of those long--term overdues.
