I didn't know that the library had a forgiveness rule on a number of lost items. I'm still being recorded as in possession of a Beethoven symphony CD, and I'm 90% sure I returned it, because I bought my own copy. Now that the warm weather is here I will have to dig in the car trunk, which is the last place the missing CD could be -- I only played the disc in the car -- and then maybe see what happens next.

Paying for the occasional lost library CD is still vastly cheaper than the amount of money I used to spend buying albums.

Honestly leaves me stuck with paying for the book the cat peed on. :-( So far I just keep renewing the book.
