In times past, I have told tales on wards and the treatment centers for Halloween and Christmas.  So I was delighted to be invited back this year!  In a quiet room surrounded by giant bean-bag chairs, I told stories old and new.  My first story was a hit.  “Overdue Fines” by Edo van Belkom is a cautionary tale of a vengeful librarian who resorts to black magic to punish those who chronically abuse their borrowing privileges.  Unfortunately, she forgot to include herself among the overdue offenders!
