Dropped a library book in the bathtub

Yeah, just drop it in the slot and walk away. Because the library has no idea who checked out their books so there's no way they'll know it's your fault. :roll:

Well it's not like they won't know who damaged it.

Pay for the book, libraries have enough trouble staying open as it is (assuming public library).

Not making any excuses, but the thing was so beat up before I could barely turn the pages.

I don't want to have to pay $20 for something that was headed for the trash anyways.
 
go to amazon.com, buy the library a copy of the book to replace the one that you ruined (can be a used copy, which you should be able to get pretty cheaply), and come clean.
 
If you wanna be an asshole, you can drop the book, get a bucket of water, and pour the water in the slot so all books including yours will be... you know what I'm talking about. They cannot blame you if all books are wet.
 
Just tell them the truth, and then pay them the price that's listed on the back of the book, near that ISBN thing.
 
REBECCA: (Gesturing tward the book) So, you want to donate this to charity?

GEORGE: Well, I assume there's some sort of write-off.

REBECCA: What's the value of the book?

GEORGE: Uh, about two hundred dollars, Miss DeMooney.

REBECCA: (Correcting. Stern) It's DeMornay. Rebecca DeMornay.

GEORGE: Oh.

REBECCA: (Opens the cover of the book) Oh, wait a second. (Certain) This book has been in the bathroom.

GEORGE: (Nervous) Wh-what are you talking about? That - that's rediculous.

REBECCA: It's been flagged. I know. I used to work in a Brentano's. Mister, we're trying to help the homeless heare - it's bad enough that we have some nut out

there trying to strap 'em to a rickshaw!

GEORGE: (Desperate to get rid of the book) Alright, I, I'll just take fifty. Do - do we have a deal?

REBECCA: Yeah, and here it is: You get your toilet book out of here, and I won't jump over this counter and punch you in the brain!

GEORGE: I could take it in merchandise..

REBECCA: (Threatening to hit him) Here I come..

(George grabs his book and runs for his life)
