Confessions of a Librarian

1. Last week, I checked out materials from the public library, only to find that I had a $0.40 fine. This is my 2nd or 3rd time with a fine in the 2+ years that I've been a librarian. In the 10 years I had that library account before I became a librarian, I don't think I ever had a fine. How embarrassing to have fines now that I should know better!

2. Since I'm admitting things I should not admit as a library professional, I'll just keep going... I checked out the DVD Persuasion, based on the novel by Jane Austen. I've never read the book--I decided it was just easier to watch the movie! I also watched Clouds of Witnesses, based on the book by Dorothy Sayers. I checked out the book by the same title at the same time, fully knowing that I had no intention of reading the book. Shame on me!

3. I sometimes take home materials from my campus library without checking them out.
