I don't know if it's because of the economy or not. I've heard of people having huge fines on library books even before the economy went bad.
I think it's because it's an audio book. Those books on CD can easily cost $80+! That sucks though. I hope you liked the book! ;-)
Yikes! I would think that maybe the fine is bigger because it's an audio book. I know our library does larger fines for audio books and DVDs. I got burned when I had a couple of DVDs out for a week! Yikes! $1/day!
So I went into the library last night to pay my $103 fine... but their computer says I only owe $20. Yet the letter from collections says I owe $103. She asked me to come back Wednesday afternoon so I could talk to the library manager and find out what the heck I really owe them. It kind of feels like a collections agency scam?
I returned the Audio book too.
Can I say that it kind of makes me giggle that my 731 credit score would be impinged by a library book fine? I know... serious business, but still, a LIBRARY FINE on my credit report!
Eeep! I have a $75 fine at my hometown's library from when I was 12!!! I never paid it ... and honestly, I still don't plan to - they have their books back and I didn't find out about the fine until I went back there 2 years ago to check out a book.
I love libraries, and I understand how they operate (I've worked at one), but I just can't justify paying that silly little fine ...
It is kind of amusing that it could go against your credit score ... but you could get that resolved easily!

So last night I got an email from my mom; she'd scanned a letter she'd recieved from the library regarding a book on CD I checked out 3 months ago and haven't returned. I know... bad on my part. My only excuse is that we've moved twice in the past 3 months and built a house. It's been kind of hectic. Still totally my fault though.
Well the library turned me over to collections for it! And even if I return it its a $100 fine! yowzer...
Last time I had a library fine it was like 10 cents a day... I guest the library business has gone south with the economy too?
