That will eat through those 26 loans faster which will cause more concern.
Interesting times.

You make a great point. I walk to the library so I have to consider rather carefully what books I check out since I will have to lug them home in my backpack. Even if you drive, that is still a trip you have to make. With e-library, Im guessing people just check out whatever looks interesting without too much thought. It's just point and click. Don't like it return it. No harm no foul, right? Or so people think.
This is a total ripoff. How are you going to make people aware every time they check a book out how costly it is.
