"Borrowers who fail to return Queens Library books can be reported to a  
collection agency and to a credit bureau, with a damaged credit rating as a  
result — a tactic that so shocked one Far Rockaway rabbi that he filed a  lawsuit. 
The collection policy also has pulled libraries — places where  generations of 
children have learned moral lessons about returning what they  borrow — into 
the debate on just how much punishment is appropriate for failing  to return a 
library book."
 
Now then.  Let's see how the library world responds to this.   There are 
already plenty of librarian comments on the NYTimes site.
