The library has a wonderful service, sending out e-mail notices of overdue books the day they become overdue. Return them or renew them (online) that day and there's no fine. Today I had 24 books turn overdue (I hoard books). They sent three e-mails, ten listed in the first two and four in the third. This is what happens when you hard-code numbers in your for loops.
