An Omaha woman who lost her library card said its disappearance nearly wound up costing her hundreds of dollars.
Michelle Anderson said she last remembered using her library card in September.
“I think I used that self-checkout and, being me, I left my card on the self-checkout,” she said. “It’s the only thing I can think of.
A couple of months later, notices from the library started arriving in the mail. Anderson said she threw them away, thinking they were for a $5 fine she owes.
It wasn’t until another letter arrived from a collection agency that she realized someone had checked out more than $584 worth of materials in her name and the library was holding her accountable.
