what if you were on the waiting list for that book and for nearly 70 years you kept calling the library every week and asked if the book was in yet and they kept saying no, and all that time you'd be wondering if they really ever had the book in the first place and whether you should just go out and buy a copy of your own?

So no, they did not collect any money from the woman. I'm sure the cool story and world wide attention (this story was from New Zealand) made up for the fine amount. And maybe it will encourage others to return books that they've been holding on to for a while.
OOPS sorry bud,I forgot that!!

Im amazed the library is owned by the same people now!!
