Chicago Wants To Forgive You
“The Chicago Public Library is offering an amnesty program on overdue materials for the first time in 20 years,” WLS-AM reports.
“Officials say the library is owed $1.4 million in fines.”
But then why waive fines? How ’bout doubling them! Provide work for a few library cops at the same time.
*
“Although the average outstanding fine is about $14, that still often proves to be a barrier to returning items among many city residents, especially children, library spokeswoman Ruth Lednicer said,” the Tribune reports.
And then you end up like this guy.

Though this goes a bit too far.

So take advantage of the amnesty program. Chicago wants to forgive you, and that only happens once in a blue moon.
