They play for keeps in Wisconsin. A woman jailed for not returning library books knows the struggle.

Irony: in checking my shelves this weekend, I discovered one book 21 years overdue, and another title 13 years late. Both are actually quite good reads, entertaining and informative. I’ve read them each several times. Still, that does not excuse my procrastination. I’m thinking about mailing them back with a short note and a check for replacement costs. That would one way to handle it. Maybe the right way.

But for now, there’s two states I’ll continue avoiding for fear of prosecution.
