In my (academic) library you can't renew a recalled item but you do have ten days to return it; also, there's a five-day grace period after the due date where you won't actually be charged for an overdue item (recalled or not). There have been a few complaints but I've grown to realize we're pretty lenient.

There have been a few complaints but I've grown to realize we're pretty lenient. On more than one occasion I've held books for months past the due date, only to luckily return them during "no late fees" month. Another time I actually ran into my local library aide on OKCupid, and she waived my fines out of the goodness of her heart. No date, though.

I work for a library in a small town and we go out of our way to waive every late fee just so we don't have to make a bank deposit of like 25¢. Also because we're lazy.

Base Camp Blanket posted:I moved to Chicago last year, and the library system here is so loving dope. Have you gone to the Harold Washington Library downtown? It has a small, but awesome "Popular Library" on the first floor which has a large selection of recently published books. It feels like you're browsing a bookstore, but you can take any of the books home. I used to borrow so many books. Also a huge fan of browsing shelves around a topic of interest, and being able to find multiple copies of a book there. I found so many great books there. When I think of moving back to Chicago, Harold Washington library would be one of my top reasons.
