Oh, honey! Having a Librarian for a mother and having done a lot of volunteer work in libraries has taught me that no ill-will is felt towards people who turn their book in late. If anything, they're loved, because they have to pay the late-fees, which means the Library is actually getting money for once (stupid government and their unwillingness to fund libraries!).

The only thing that makes Librarians angry is when you have a bad attitude about paying your fine and absolutely refuse to and then storm out of the library and slam the door so hard in breaks. That happened to my mom once. The guy was a Youth Ministry major, too. With that on his record, it will probably be pretty hard for him to get a good job.

Your shipping story made me laugh. Out loud. And I'm currently in the library. That's okay, though, because my mom is currently the one running the reference desk, and she laughs out loud a lot, too. And she plays rock music in her office...with the door open. I do love her!
