Juice in Dog House Again With Librarians

Tbe Minneapolis Public Library system won't let me request any materials because of outstanding library fines. I don't know why they have to treat me like this. I'm one of their best customers. My fees--when I pay them--probably keep the Webber-Camden branch open, for Pete's sake.

I owe them thirty bucks.

You'd think they could wait until I owed more like fifty or a hundred.

I'm bummed because I'm burning a bunch of my CDs onto iTunes, and I noticed that a few of my favorites are missing. Then I decided I could just get them from the library and burn them onto my computer (that's not illegal, is it?). One CD that I'm missing is Natalie Merchant's Ophelia. This is one of my favorite albums of all time, and I love it so much I replace it every time I lose it, which has happened three times. So I thought this time I could just get it from the library. Guess not. Sheesh.
