GRAFTON, Wis. - A Grafton woman has been arrested and booked for failing to pay her library fines. Heidi Dalibor, 20, told the News Graphic in Cedarburg she ignored the library's calls and letters as well as a notice to appear in court. Still, she was surprised when officers with a warrant knocked on her door, cuffed her and took her to the police station to be fingerprinted and photographed. Police Capt. Joe Gabrish saied officers follow the same procedure with every warrant. The incident cost Dalibor about $30 for the overdue paperbacks "White Oleander" and "Angels and Demons" and her mother nearly $172 to get her out of custody.

I know there'll be people arguing that the Grafton, Wisc. police should have better things to do than worry about some girl with overdue library books. People who think this is a joke. Well, let me tell you something, funny boy. Y'know that little stamp, the one that says "Grafton Public Library"? Well that may not mean anything to you, but that means a lot to me. One whole hell of a lot. Sure, go ahead, laugh if you want to.

As a post script, Heidi is hot for a library-dwelling scofflaw.
