A character goes to the library and checks out a book. However, they are very bad at keeping track of things, and they lose the book. Months, sometimes years later, they find the book again. The character most likely has to pay hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars in fines. See also: Shockingly Expensive Bill. This happens a lot in Real Life. Occasionally the story of a book due 50+ years will be added as a filler in news segments. More often than not, the library will waive the fee as the book is now decades old and can be quite historical. More recently, library fines are capped at a fixed fine (either enough to buy a replacement copy or a set time period after which the fine will stop increasing) so the fine will not break the bank of the poor old man who finds it later in life. Because of this, this trope might be a Dead Horse Trope in the future. See also Evil Librarians, Scary Librarian, and Loony Librarian. |

The remake of Wild ARMs has you go to Curan Abbey to find the De La Metallica, an extremely rare book on alchemy. The book they have is only a copy of the original and the abbey's librarian says it is way overdue. She gives you the student's ID card. It says Z. Roughnight, indicating Rudy's late grandfather borrowed the book and never returned it. Extremely overdue indeed. | |

In one Time Squad episode, the team is visited by elderly versions of themselves from the future. They were meant to warn them about something, but due to senility, they can't remember what it was. At the end of the episode, they finally remember that they wanted to warn the present team about a library book that they should return because the financial penalty for it being several decades overdue is astronomical. | |

Arthur episode, "Unfinished". Arthur looks for a new copy of a long-out-of-print book called 93 Million Miles in a Balloon when the last few pages of his copy of the book are missing (and later revealed to have been in the pocket of his jacket and ruined in the wash). He finds out that the Elwood City Library did have a copy of the book, but it was checked out ten years ago and never returned, as whoever last borrowed it moved out and left no forwarding address. Ms. Turner vows that if that man ever returns to the Elwood City Library, she will personally revoke his library card. | |

In an episode of A Pup Named Scooby-Doo, it's revealed that Shaggy has one of these—apparently when he was in preschool or Kindergarten, Shaggy had checked out a book called "Pizza Parrot and the Butterbean Bunnies" from the old Coolsville Library, but one day, when he ran to his house to grab a snack, the book fell out of Shaggy's backpack and Scooby accidentally buried with a bunch of his bones. Though in Shaggy's defense, he was ultimately never able to return the book because the library ended up shutting down not long after that. The villain of the episode was portraying the ghost of the old librarian and wanted to get the book that Shaggy checked out because it's a very rare book, and thus very valuable. | |

The owner of the game store in Acts of Gord rents out games, rather than books, but has a similar problem. A few of his customers are mentioned as keeping a game for so long that Gord simply bills the customer's credit card for the price of the game, as the late fees eventually exceed the cost of the game. | |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic had an episode where Twilight worries that she may have caused her favorite librarian to lose her job when she realizes she never returned a book she checked out years ago. It turns out that all said unreturned book did was break said librarian's perfect record and said librarian had an epiphany that she didn't need to be perfect and it was in fact holding her back from being truly happy, so she quit on her own and started really enjoying her life as a result. Also, it turns out the library caps its fees after one month late and it's only 28 bits, and Twilight was even allowed to keep the book because they got newer editions in the interim. On the downside, Twilight's portrait as the library's perfect book borrower gets taken down, but in line with the episode's Aesop, Twilight accepts this fact without much fuss. | |

Liv and Maddie: The subplot of the episode "Ask Her More-A-Rooney" has Maddie realize she has a library book that's been overdue for years and unless she returns it, she won't be able to graduate. Turns out, Joey and Parker have been using the book as a support beam for the Parker Tunnels, and if removed, the house could fall apart. To get around this, they swap the book with Karen's Thai cookbook, which is the same size and width, and successfully return it, only to find out the cookbook has all of Karen's important documents in it. | |

The first episode of Mystery Show featured a variation. Starlee's client, Laura, rented a movie and wanted to return it the next day, but couldn't because the store had suddenly shut down. A decade later, Starlee finds the store owner and gives him a different copy of the movie, which is a double-feature with another film that she "threw in as a late fee." | |

In the Family Guy episode "Friends of Peter G.", during the "Mr. Booze" musical number, Bruce claims that he had a book checked out from the library that he forgot about for three-and-a-half years. He was going to take it back on Amnesty Day, but on that day, he had a sip of Rosé wine and never made it out of the house. | |

An episode of I Got a Rocket involves Vinnie finding a set of library books in his backpack that he borrowed years earlier. Because they're "special extended deep storage cryogenic loans" the books are only just barely coming due, but he doesn't reach the library in time and is charged $2.75 in late fees, which he can't pay. Rocket tries to fly the books back in time in order to avoid the late fees, but this backfires and Vinnie now owes $4,000,000,000.46 in late fees. | |
