Are You Holding On To A Library Book?

Get off of your butt and turn that library book in:

Borrowers who fail to return Queens Library books can be reported to a collection agency and to a credit bureau, with a damaged credit rating as a result — a tactic that so shocked one Far Rockaway rabbi that he filed a lawsuit.

The collection policy also has pulled libraries — places where generations of children have learned moral lessons about returning what they borrow — into the debate on just how much punishment is appropriate for failing to return a library book.

Other people may want to read that borrowed book too. It's not fair to other readers like myself.
