Don't Over-Due It

It's library amnesty day at Tapwater Elementary School. In order to avoid expensive fines, everyone returns their overdue books. Angela is proud of the fact that she always returns books on time...or so she thinks! While reading her favourite "Happy Hoppy Bunny" book, Angela realizes the book is library property and she has had it since kindergarten. By now, amnesty day is over and huge library fines loom in Angela's future. Angela enlists the aid of her friends to find ways to avoid the fines. They try many forms of trickery that all end in failure. Nanette quickly catches on to Angela's dilemma and tattles on her. Angela concludes that the only solution is to hide the evidence. Only she finds that she can't hide from the truth. She is caught clutching her copy of "Happy Hoppy Bunny", which, her mother points out, was bought and paid for at a library book sale! Angela was right all along. She never had an overdue library book and Nanette is punished for suggesting otherwise.
