BELOIT, Wis. -- Rock County residents take notice: The library wants books back on time.

A Rock County woman spent six days in jail for overdue books, WISC-TV reported.

The Beloit Public Library wanted the books back from Keely Givahn. After sending Givahn overdue notices, the library sent her a citation.

Beloit Public Library director Dan Zack said when books aren't returned, the library sends three overdue notices. After the third notice, a citation is sent that could include court date.

When Givahn was pulled over for a traffic violation, the officer found out about her outstanding warrant and took her to jail, WISC-TV reported.

Givahn told authorities that she was in the process of moving and never got the overdue notices.

She and her family couldn't afford to pay her fine so she remained in jail for six days.

Beloit police Capt. Bill Tyler said he knows this case could sound like an overreaction, but he said a municipal fine is a municipal fine, and failure to pay for any reason can result in anarrest warrant being issued.
