Don’t forget to return your library book – even if you’re dead
January 12th, 2008 America, Books, That's Outrageous!

A woman in New York returned an overdue library book to the New York County library. It was a book her mother had checked out, and then her mom died before she returned the book. When the daughter returned the book, the librarian told her she owned a fine of fifty cents – even though she had told him that her mother was DEAD. She paid the fine, but was – understandably – pissed.
