They say A 21-year veteran Chicago Public Library clerk has been charged with felony theft for allegedly pocketing $18,000 in fines over a five-month period–half of her annual salary–from the 6,000 daily patrons of the Harold Washington Library.
They say She used the money to pad her salary and to pay attorneys who represented her son who, she said, has been in and out of jail.
