Boom. Fees Waived. You’re welcome. | Shutterstock

March 13, 2024

Are you a member of the Worcester Public Library in Massachusetts? Do you owe it any fees? Do you have a picture of a cat? If you answered “yes” to all those questions, then you are in luck! 

For the entire month of March, the library is offering to waive a person’s fees for lost or damaged books … that is, if you bring in a picture of a cat. According to the site, all you must do show them a picture of “your cat, a famous cat, a picture you drew of a cat, a shelter cat — any cat.” It is just one of the many cat-themed programs that the library will run this month, and while it doesn’t make much sense, are you really going to argued with getting your fees waived? 

In case for you don’t have a cat (or don’t know how to use the internet), I found a few for you. You can take your pick from these three. 

Now, you don’t have to show us anything to read this RTO Insider news.

From everyone at RTO Insider, thanks for reading and enjoy the rest of your day!
