Have you ever been fined by the library for bringing back materials past
|
|
their due date and felt that it was just a bunch of bullshit? Well, now you
|
|
can permanently check books out from the library without having to pay for
|
|
them.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Method 1:
|
|
|
|
Walk into the library with a backpack containing a notebook and some
|
|
other book (what book it is doesn't matter). Find the books you want and
|
|
some other books you don't want, then go back to your seat. Open everything
|
|
up and pretend that you are studying and taking down notes in the notebook.
|
|
After a while, start packing up, but put the books you want to keep in your
|
|
backpack. Return the other books back to the shelf. Pick your backpack up
|
|
and walk out of the library. If someone stops you on the way out and asks
|
|
you to return the books that you took then apologize and say that you took
|
|
them absent-mindedly (be sincere). Try it again another time. This will not
|
|
work if the library has a security system that detects books that haven't
|
|
been properly checked out. Refer to "Deterring Book Security" to bypass this
|
|
obstacle.
|
|
|
|
The problem with this first method is that it may take too long,
|
|
depending on how much time you're willing to spend "studying" to make it look
|
|
legitimate. The next method is much faster.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Method 2:
|
|
|
|
Obtain the complete address of someone you don't like that lives near
|
|
you. Go to the library clerk and ask for a new library card. If she asks
|
|
you if you already have one, say no. You may need to be older to get a library
|
|
card on your own so tell the clerk that you are 18 if she asks. When she asks
|
|
you to fill out the temporary card, use the name and address of your favorite
|
|
enemy. The clerk may then check the address to make sure you did not give any
|
|
false information (such as an address that does not exist). You will then get a
|
|
temporary card that you can use that very day. Find the books you want and check
|
|
them out. Use the card for about a month before you throw it away. The library
|
|
will get itchy after a month and may start asking you about your overdue books
|
|
and may not let you check anymore out. In the meantime, however, your enemy
|
|
will receive his new library card along with a bill for all of his overdue
|
|
books.
|
|
|
|
One possible problem that may arise when attempting this method would
|
|
lie in the fact that some libraries might require you to show proof of
|
|
identification. This can be overcome by attaining the I.D. of
|
|
your enemy using some devious plot.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Deterring Book Security
|
|
|
|
Some libraries have security systems that beep when you try to walk out
|
|
of the library with a book that hasn't been properly checked out. These
|
|
systems rely on a magnetic strip that is inserted into the binding of the
|
|
book. When a book is checked out, it is bumped against a machine that
|
|
de-magnetizes the strip, thus allowing the book to pass through the security
|
|
system. When the book is checked in, it is bumped against a different
|
|
machine that magnetizes the strip, so if an attempt is made to walk away
|
|
with the book, the alarm will sound.
|
|
|
|
These security systems are easy to spot. They consist of two
|
|
rectangular columns, each about five feet tall, on either side of the
|
|
entrance with one dividing column in between. The two rectangular columns
|
|
have silver squares covering the inner sides of them.
|
|
|
|
In order to bypass the security system, you must remove the magnetic
|
|
strip from within the book's binding. The easiest way would be to check the
|
|
book out and do it in the privacy of your own home, then check it back in
|
|
and wait for it to be re-shelved, but it can be accomplished inside the
|
|
libpary. Pick the book up and look in between the spine (side cover) and the
|
|
binding. You should see a metal strip glued to the inside. Take a flathead
|
|
screwdriver and scrape it from the book. This can be done fairly quick. Don't
|
|
hang on to the strip. It's magnetized! If you walk out with it in your
|
|
possession, it will still trigger the alarm. Throw it on top of a bookshelf or
|
|
in a waste-paper basket. You might want to have fun with it by putting it in
|
|
some lady's purse. Put the book in a backpack or something so that you don't
|
|
look suspicious walking out of the library with a book you didn't walk in with.
|
|
|
|
The magnetic strip will not always be located in the spine of the book.
|
|
You may sometimes find it on the inside of the back cover, or anywhere else,
|
|
depending on how far the library will go in order to keep it hidden from you.
|
|
Look under and inside the card pocket and on the inside of each cover. The
|
|
worst place it can be is inside the spine because its a bitch to remove and
|
|
is hard to see. Also, the magnetic sensor may not always be a strip. It
|
|
can be a small, black circle or a white square that looks like it has a
|
|
solder schematic underneath it. Just use common sense. If it looks like it
|
|
might be a magnetic marker, take it off.
|
|
|
|
This same security method is used in book stores, except that the metal
|
|
strip will instead be inserted between two pages near the middle of the book.
|
|
Find the strip and discard it. Then put the book in a bag or something and
|
|
casually walk out.
|
|
|
|
Now you can create your own personal library where you won't get fined
|
|
for overdue books!
