One of the funniest revelations ever was that Buffistas (as a group) tend to be horrible library patrons and outright book thieves.
I am a freak who returns library books on time or renews when necessary. I am a bad bibliophile.
Wesley: All right. I'm going to let you all in on something you may have trouble comprehending. I assure you however-- Gunn: Vampires are real. Wesley: I was telling!

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Sign that it's Too Damn Hot no. 101: I have a book on hold at my library, but I don't want to be outside long enough to retrieve it. Luckily they'll hold it until the weekend, when the weather should be a bit cooler. But still. Ugh.

Thrive to spite them
Yeah, my privelages are currently suspended for not returning books.
I have Sarah Vowell book so I'm being a really bad Bitch bogarting that.
However, I just saw that the library is hiring in a position I qualify for. I'd have to get my application in by Friday. I have to think about that.

What is even happening?
The kids and I have a stack of books here (somewhere) that are eight days overdue. But I've been sick.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Welcome back, Aimee! And YIKES!
I have to return library books that are once again over due. I'm not very nice to the library at times
I still have unpaid fees at one of our libraries. The good thing for me is I can go to Columbus Metropolitan AND my local library (it's incorprated within Columbus, but separate). So I usually go to whichever one I don't owe fees to.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Can you renew online, Cindy?

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I was shocked to hear all the many (many) mea culpas of Buffistas who had lost their library privileges because they couldn't bear to take the books back.
See, I know I'm a control freak (knock, knock), but still -- how can people NOT take their books back? I don't get it.

Probably, ita. Thanks for the reminder. I think so, and I know you can renew by phone. For the past week, I've been telling myself I'd just drop them off, but now that my legs are so unhappy, I'm not so inclined to drive, so maybe I'll just renew.

Or great library patrons. My late fees probably have bought many books.

Renewing online is teh awesome.
The book-taking reminds me of how I got into Christopher Pike. Fifth or sixth grade, there was a copy of Bury Me Deep sitting on the chalkboard; it had been lost and was not currently claimed. It looked really cool, and after a couple days of watching it just sit there, I, uh, took it home and read it. Then I brought it back, at which point the original owner realized it had been missing, and he let me keep it.
