Clinton was 14 years old when his mother entered into a written agreement with the town library on his behalf. According to the agreement, Clinton would obtain full borrowing privileges and his mother would become "responsible for any fines, loss, or damage occasioned by the use of the library card." Shortly after Clinton lost his library card, a stranger used it to borrow more than 30 items. Those items were never returned. The library issued a bill to Clinton's mother for $1570, the replacement value of those items. Do you think Clinton's mother should have to pay? How might the library have better managed its affairs?
