I willingly didnt return my library books after the library near me is suddenly going through unexpected renovations and its been sitting on my shelf for close to a year since i was too lazy to drive across town to another library.I was planning on returning the books when the library opens again in a couple months but at this point i'm tempted to just keep em since I've just been buying my books instead for the first time in my life instead of using the library and i'm liking my growing collection.The library books are the illiad, the odyssey, the aeneid and mythology.I wanted to have this certain set of books anyways and at this point i dont wanna pay for it.Is this wrong of me ? Who else is gonna read these old books in my crappy bumfuck town in the middle of nowhere?they probably have multiple copies anyways.
>>24945852The Iraqi saying in your picrel is a No True Scotsman fallacy. So I wouldn't worry about it, enjoy your free books fren.
WE ARE WHAT WE DO, AND WHAT WE DO MAKES THE CITY IN WHICH WE EXIST AND COEXIST.DO YOU WANT TO BE A THIEF? DO WANT TO LIVE IN A LOW TRUST COMMUNITY? IF NOT, RETURN THE BOOKS.

>>24945852Heh, that's funny. I also have library books that are months overdue and I was thinking of returning them sometime this week.
I've been in a similar situation once in third grade. At the end of the school year I brought back a book I had forgotten home months before. The teacher didn't remember I had it either, yet instead of being happy she'd gotten her book back she ruthlessly tore me apart in front of the class. Since that day I've never tried to be proactive again. If I'm on time it's fine but if it's late and no one reminds me it's on them.
I still have a copy of This Spake Zarathustra from a decade ago. They sent me to collections for it and it dinged my credit. I refused to pay. I refuse to return. I will not subject the people of my town to Nietzsche.
>>24945852As a librarian, keep them, no one cares. You're the only one with negative consequences from this, because when a Core Collection book is missing for more than a month or two, we buy it almost immediately. That said, you're screwing your future self by tossing away access to free books at your library. If you return them the fines are usually greatly reduced, usually to a maximum of $5 per item instead of list price + processing fee. I don't know why you would deny yourself access to library books though, if you're a reader. Even if you are retarded and prefer ebooks, those are offered for free at a majority of libraries as well with convenient sync features between devices.
