[Publib] We don't shush anymore; we destroy your credit.

[Dutcher, Henry]

Any overdues we are unable to get returned do go to our police.  The
have retrieved well over $20,000 worth of materials in the last three
years.  This from a library with a collection size of @135,000 items.
It still is a drop in the bucket of what we lose.

I know one small town that sends a letter to long overdue patrons that
the chief of police will be by at a date a week from the letter
generation to pick up the "missing city property".  They had a
phenominal return rate!

SHEESH.  I think we should remind the public that it's THEIR tax dollars
that support the library, and by keeping library materials beyond their
due dates they deprive other taxpayers of the use of their property.
