Library fine question

Mr.Nice Guy · 2006-05-04 21:47:02

Hello to you. I've just received a second letter from UCD Library asking for me to return a book of theirs. This book is a Short-Loan book and from checking my account online, it says I owe them €30.00. Now for my question - the letter says fines are increasing each day so I'm wondering if anyone knows whether they limit…

My sis was hospitalised last year, and she had library books out at the time. They were in her locker, and as she was really ill, we never thought about it til the end of the college year ended and a friend of hers emptied her locker for us and brought back the books to the library. When my sister first had an oppurtunity to check her emails last autumn, she had emails from NUIG library requesting she return the books and informing her that her fines were about €80 per book (reserve books). The fines had later been cleared without our knowing about them, due to the seriousness of my sister's condition, if it weren't for the emails we'd never had known she'd incurred fines, but if she'd had to pay them it would've come to about €150/200 iirc.
