Found another article below. It sounds like she didn’t get a receipt, and the library claims she never returned the books (multiple books).

This is a lesson for everyone to always demand a receipt, and then hold onto that receipt, even for library books.

Now if she had “JUST” murdered all her kids by drowning them she would have been released after doing one (1) day in the city jail.
Then been told how brave she was to sacrifice her children on the alter of global warming!

I read your tag line; is the “space” in your head also for rent?

most places have jubilees for people who are late on their books, or missing books...

Once again, the administrative state at work, imposing criminal charges in order to facilitate the collection of fees and fines with no defense or explanation permitted.

Notably, even though advocates for such measures treat them as cost free for government, they do in fact impose costs and burdens on the public to support a large clerical enforcement bureaucracy and generate revenue. In addition, the system generates ill will from the public that tends to simmer and broadly delegitimate government.

That was one of the little appreciated aspects of the Ferguson, Missouri riots after the death of Michael Brown. More so than in most places, the poor and minorities there were burdened and bedeviled by various fines for traffic and code enforcement actions from a complicated array of local governments and bureaucracies. Defenses in court were inconvenient, expensive, and rarely successful. When the Michael Brown death came along, it popped the cork and offered an opportunity to vent through riots and arson.
