A guy at the Tucson library showed me how to renew books online and I saved $14 in late fees
I went in to pay off 3 overdue books and the librarian, Marcus, just tapped a few buttons and renewed them instead. I had no idea you could do that twice before they actually charge you. That was 14 bucks I got to keep, and now I check my account every Sunday. Does your library let you renew the same way or is it different by city?

Man, come on, this is exactly the kind of thing that makes libraries look like a joke to the people who fund them. Those late fees are not some random punishment, they are how the library pays for new books and keeps the lights on when the budget gets cut every year. You basically got Marcus to wipe out a debt you agreed to when you checked the books out, and now you are bragging about it like it is a life hack. Renewals have a limit for a reason, other people are waiting on those titles and the whole system falls apart if everyone just taps buttons to dodge the fee. Pay your 14 bucks next time and stop treating the library like a game to beat.
