INDEPENDENCE, Iowa -An Iowa woman has been arrested because she failed to return a library book.
Thirty-nine-year-old Shelly Koontz was arrested Thursday night on a fifth-degree theft charge. She is accused of keeping “The Freedom Writers Diary,” which she checked out from the public library in nearby Jesup in April.
Police say the book — which is about a high school teacher’s effort to inspire students to write — is valued at $13.95.
Court records show library employees tried repeatedly to contact Koontz by phone and mail. A police officer even visited her home last September.
Officials at the Buchanan County jail say Koontz was released after posting $250 bond. No telephone listing for Koontz could be found in the Independence area.

Texting these days has split these world’s comunnicaton in half
No one calls each other on land lines anymore. Even on problems they have to explain what a land line even is. Everyone has a cell phone now also. What drives me even crazier is the shortened language, such as…
TTYL
Now what does that mean you ask. No, it doesn’t mean totally. It means “Talk To You Later”
R
Yes, it means the word ‘are’
U
Means “You”
BRB
Be Right Back
TMI
To Much Information
And finally the last one for today…..
Thx
Thanks or Thank you
