LIbrary conundrum.

The library in my city cancelled all fines like last year.

So what happens if you're reading a book, and it gets recalled?

This is not a theoretical question, either!

Last week a book got recalled that I was finally getting into after a year, and between the recall date and my work schedule and the Covid epidemic, I was like, "Fuck it," and I decided just to keep it and read it and polish it off, and so I did that, and I returned it like a week overdue.

They also are quarantining books for up to a week before they pass them on to other patrons, so I figure that that might give me some leeway with them seeking to penalize me somehow, too, that and the fact that there's a pandemic going on.
