“Happiness is having your own library card!”

Sally from the Peanuts comic strip.

Sally from the Peanuts comic strip gang says it so well… “Happiness is having your own library card!” I only wish all my “cards” let me shop for free stuff!

“Dear Library, I Have Lost Your Book.”

Peanuts comic, Charlie Brown, Charles Schulz

Per Guinness World Records: “The world´s largest fine for an overdue library book is $345.14 (£203.29), the amount owed at two cents a day for the poetry book Days and Deeds checked out of Kewanee Public Library, Illinois, USA in April 1955 by Emily Canellos-Simms. Although the book was due back 19 April 1955, Emily found it in her mother´s house 47 years later and presented the library with a check for overdue fines.” Gosh, I feel guilty when I’m a day late!
