Can't Find My Book
My mom checked out a book for me a month or so ago and I have never lost a book but she tld me it was due a while ago but can't find it and the fee has reached ten dollars so far. I cleadned out my closet, desk, under my bed, drawers and looked in every single little spot in the house and my mom has looked quite a bit too. I can't find it anywhere and she yells at me about it. I also looked in both cars we have. I never took it out of the house and my mom won't stop bothering me about it. Everytime I talk to her no matter what it is about, he always ends up dissapointing me because she goes on and on about the book I can't find. It's the first time I've lost a book and there is literally no where else to look but she doesn't want me to do anything else until I find it. What should I do? I don't have money to pay the fine. Please and Thanks. :)

Hello,
In regards to the book, you should just ask your mother to pay the fine if she can. Usually, libraries charge you until a maximum. E.g. they will charge you 0.10 every day, for every book, until a maximum of a certain amount e.g. $20. So the maximum you can pay is $20.
So yes, you should Ring the library and ask how much the maximum is, and just tell the the truth: that you have lost it, and ask what you can do.
In regards to your mother, it sounds that she is disappointed with you, not because you can't find the book, but the fact that you lost it in the first place. She probably knows that she will have to pay the fine, because otherwise, you will not be able to take books out.
Next time she asks, just tell her that you've looked everywhere, and still can't find it. Ask her if you should just tell the library. Remain calm though, i.e. don't scream or whatever.
Good luck :)
