This issue is more complex than just trying to “save” books. Not to be “punny”, but the other issues that go along with this situation involves public trust, falsifying public record and possibly “cooking the books”. City Libraries are paid by the county for every book that is checked out. So fake book checkouts are fraudulent, costing tax payers money. Only a handful of deleted books may need to be repurchased in the future for one branch, not a big expense compared to a library fraudulently checking out thousands and thousands of books…if all County and City Libraries are doing this, it adds up. Government needs to be fiscally responsible and accountable when it comes to tax payer money.
