The Irony

[  Mood: Sleepy ]
[  Currently: Working on the grocery list ]
So Thursday I went to the library to pay off some fines and deal with a book my students had lost. It cost me $50, but then I could take out books again.

On Friday, my students had silent reading. As they were digging for books in the library, they came across one of the books, Through My Eyes, by Ruby Bridges.

No problem, take it back you say. No. If you pay for a book that is lost, you can’t bring it back. Well you can, but you won’t get the money back. Something about the library’s computer system.

Since I wanted to buy the book anyways, and this one is a fully protected library copy, I am not too upset.

But oh, the irony.
