Ya know...
The Library says we took out a book called Guji Guji. It's a children's book. They say we never returned it. I flipped through a copy online and I've never seen this book before in my life. I've searched high and low and this book does not exist...at least in my household. However, the records say we took it out and I will purchase a new copy and give it to them.
It's not an expensive book but I don't like having that blemish on my record. They told me to wait until the "we're sending the police for the book" letter (which they do, in fact send out) and to call them. They hope it will turn up between now and then.
I know it's stupid and it's only a $7 book, but I've never lost a library book before (or at least have them tell me I did). It's a good thing they know me there. They said we can take out all the books we want even with this "lost" book pending (they usually freeze accounts). Thank the gods I have a good reputation there. Reputation is everything.
