Under 5? No Card for You @ the Rockford Public Library

 

To be revised

Rockford Public Library card abuse forces change in age policy.  (Rockford Register-Star, 8/15/2012)

Excerpt:   It goes like this: Mom and dad have library cards. They rack up hundreds of dollars in fines on the cards, and the cards are blocked so they can no longer use them. But rather than stop checking out books and movies and not return them, the parents apply for a children’s card and use that card until it, too, is maxed out on fees and blocked. And so on and so forth until there are no family members left to obtain a new card.
