"Well...I know the librarian in town if you don't mind a less magical library. She might be able to give you a job."

"What have I got to lose?" Rosemary said. "Fine. I'm in."

"Great. I'll head straight there after we're done here." Minda smiled. "By the way, why did you say the running fee was the only thing overboard?" Minda asked as Rosemary sipped her tea. "Because it's a spell that never requires a librarian to take action. It's cast on people the moment they entered the library. The more they run the bigger the fine...Though to keep it from happening again the fine isn't cash, it's pounds."
"Like the money over there in England?" Minda asked. "No. Literal pounds. Fat. Of course most people don't know about that fee until they sit or lie down somewhere and truly relax. After that a piece of paper with the fee amount on it appears and how to payback the fee. Being banned though, such a fee becomes diet and exercise only. Any magic attempts to lose the weight results in more of it coming back."

"Well good thing we never got the fee." Minda said.

"Maybe not you or the ones that got put in the child section...But your apprentice...She ran enough there's no way a fee doesn't find its way to her."

"But she kept going most of the time." Minda said.

"Which would increase the fee. I'm not sure what magic the head librarian used for that spell, but a kid I knew ran around for a while, left with no fee appearing until they got home and plopped down on their couch." Rosemary said. "Their parents freaked and quickly paid the fine."

"Well there is no way she would catch Jackie cause she got out of there without the spell being cast." Minda said.

"Tell me, did you notice the book charm hanging over the entrance?"

"Book charm?" Minda asked raising an eyebrow.

"It's how that bogus fee is cast. It never needs a librarian to cast it. It just needs the offender to get near it."

"Hmm. Let's see. I went in first and dragged Jackie with me." Minda said.

"Hmm...Maybe being dragged in kept the charm from working..."

"Yeah...perhaps it did. Such a shame I can never go back." Minda sighed.
