Can you please enact harsher punishments on people who don't turn in DVDs on time if at all? A chopped off hand should suffice. It's really annoying to have to wait forever for someone to decide to return in-demand DVDs when they get good and ready. Oh—and could you guys start burning DVDs so that way if they don't come back at all there’s an extra copy for rental? Thanks.

Thank you for your suggestion. While we agree that it is frustrating waiting for DVDs to return, we do think our fines are harsh enough. We charge $1 for every day a DVD is overdue. Realizing that our patrons are often financially strapped, we don't want to enforce harsher policies. Most importantly, we hope that our patrons will take the responsibility to return DVDs on time, and we thoroughly appreciate those patrons that do. Unfortunately, we are unable to burn additional copies of DVDs as that would be unlawful reproduction.
