Re: What about a library?

Not OP, but my issue with libraries is that I end up forgetting to return things, because I get too excited and check out too many things, and rack up fines that I then don't have the money to pay so then I can't check out any more until I happen to have some spare money to pay off the fine.

ayrt

Maybe try an online version? With the version I use, Hoopla, books are e-format and you can stream movies, TV shows, and music albums and they all return automatically when they are due, if you don't return them before then.

For the physical media, my library always sends a reminder email three days before something is due and if I can't get in to return it, I renew online, though they do have book drop that is available whenever. (I think they actually also have a grace period of 24 hours.) It's a really well set up system. The local library is kind of amazing - the only thing I have an issue with is the online search algorithm, it's just too broad in some areas and too specific in others and so takes some effort to find things if you don't have an exact thing you're looking for.

Can you sign up to get alerts when your items are due? My library can call, text, or email me when my books are due. My library will also automatically renew my books near the due date unless someone has a hold on them.

You may want to check with your local library to see if they are even still doing this; current industry trend is to do away with late fees altogether. Though they will still charge you a replacement fee if you NEVER return the material.

I totally get checking out too many things, but I mark my calender, get emailed notifications, and take the printed receipt from checkout and put it on the fridge.
