Ah, the library

two journals seven days overdue: $45.00

one journal, also seven days overdue,
mysteriously catalogued as "lost or stolen": $250.00

estimated cost of emergency surgery after
consequent heart attack: $75,000.00

Having a friendly library employee on your side: PRICELESS.

you know - had you not had the friend, of course - $75,000 is a lot of money. hell, for that much you could just pay someone to take out the opposing librarian.

I'm the librarian here at the Seminary. Such power... the power of fear... fear of never being able to lay your hands on a book ever again... or the power to be merciful and all-forgiving. Depends on my morning mood.

I think the library is out to get you, Jenna. No paper to write on, only little golf pencils, and exhorbitant fees. That's what you get for being a student. How dare you actually try to -use- the library to write your papers??

here at GT, they don't charge no library fees. i had a couple of books from interlibrary loan that were overdue, and they didn't charge me anything.

i'm very curious about this GT library...plush secret rooms, no fees...i think they're funneling (sp???) funds from us!
