It's time to put on your big boy pants.

For too long, I am afraid we have coddled our students. However, college should be about preparing people for real life and that means being responsible for your own actions. Even when it comes to the library.

Starting July 1, 2008 there will be some changes to how we bill late fees. Currently, we have very long grace periods which basically guarantee that anyone who at least eventually brings a book back will not be charged more than $9. July 1 changes that. We will start enforcing late fees on books and DVDs and other library materials to the tune of 10 cents per day. Fines under $9 will be paid to a clerk (or me) in the library. Fines higher than that will still have to paid for at the main office.

More details to follow.
