US Library to enforce jail sentences for overdue books

A library in Alabama  has reportedly warned its customers that it plans to enforce strict new borrowing rules that include the possibility of jail time for anyone who fails to return a book on time.

In an effort to recoup about $200,000 worth of overdue books, the Athens-Limestone public library will be enforcing a new policy that includes fines of $100, a city jail term of 30 days or possibly both, according to the News Courier.

very strange news!!. I feel so sorry about the patrons. This policy is actually going to keep the users away from library.

Wow....! This is good idea taken by a library, This act should be enforce in Indian academic libraries at least high penalty for who those not returning books on time  (Particularly Faculty members). This act can avoid duplication of books (Some librarians are hesitate to ask books form the faculties) therefore, they are going for procuring new books, therefore it should be implement in our academic libraries or we have to make best policy on this issue and should be follow the same....
