Episode Title

Show Notes

Everyone Loved It But Me is a podcast where we take a deep dive and discuss a popular book with a unique perspective. In our Book Bits episode, Lisa tackles book etiquette, literary topics and book news. 

 In this episode, Lisa talks about what happens if you get in “library jail.” That’s a slang term that she uses. Most libraries call it a suspended or frozen account due to fines or items that haven’t been returned. 

Also discussed in today’s episode are the fall book fair and reading goals for 2022.

 Here’s a piece about someone who returned a book 84 years later. Each library has its own policy for returning books and what happens if you’re late. Here’s the New York City Library policy. 

 An article in Forbes shows many libraries are now reducing and eliminating fees across the U.S.  The American Library Association passed a resolution in January 2019 stating library fines create a barrier.

 When asked the hardest scene to film without laughing Jerry Seinfeld says it was season three episode, “The Library,” where he had a confrontation with Lt. Bookman, the library cop.
