Thank you to library staff

 Because of the flood in my area, I fled upcountry and was unable to return books borrowed from the Central Library of Srinakharinwitot University in Bangkok on the due date. Upon returning home, I rushed those overdue books to the library, with cash in hand. To my surprise, the library has instituted a policy to waive fines for overdue books due to the flood. Moreover, extended time will be given to any check-out books that may have been displaced elsewhere.

I would like to thank the staff at this library for their caring and understanding attitude towards patrons who are suffering from this historic flood and worrying about books borrowed from the library. Other libraries should follow this thoughtful example. As we are encouraging people to read more and visit libraries, such a policy surely helps create a lasting bond between the library and readers.
