Hello, students, I am a staff member of Jining Oasis Science and Education Library in Shandong Province. We have a similar situation here. I always explain the situation to readers and generally don't punish them. Before the matter is solved, if you pay the fine without making excuses, it means that you have approved that kind of behavior, but I suggest you find the main person in charge of the school library, and then sincerely explain your situation and ask their understanding. If it really doesn't work, you will have to pay a fine. If the librarian is too stubborn, you can ask the principal in charge of the school. I think there is always room for reasoning. Good luck!
