    Largest library fine you've incurred?
    Mine's something pathetic like three quid but I'm curious to see if anyone here has got some really massive ones.

    Erm, I've never had one. But I've had three books from the library that are other a week late now, what happens if I don't take them back or pay the fine? Surely if I take them back and put them into one of those "anonymous return" things I won't have to pay?

    The worst thing is that in the first month...I went to return the books but the library was closed!

    After that...it was pretty much my fault.

    They might send a bill to your house , cos if you've loaned them with your library card , then they have your details?:rolleyes:

    Yes, but when you want to take out any other books in the future they won't let you till you've paid the fine.

    My largest fine was £20ish

    Couple of quid, I always seem to forget by about a week.
    Hence why I don't really go to the library any more....

    I currently owe £34.50, I managed to get it in one hit and I've had it since last March. I keep meaning to pay it, but I've found myself buying books from the Oxfam Bookshop instead.

    They'll send you a letter asking you to pay, and you won't be able to take anymore out unless you pay it. I doubt it'll be much, probably the right side of £2.50. It's not as if they're going to send baliffs round your gaff.
