Unreturned library book leads to woman's arrest - Buzz Up Fri Jan 23, 3:20 pm ET INDEPENDENCE, Iowa – An Iowa woman has been arrested because she failed to return a library book. Thirty-nine-year-old Shelly Koontz was arrested Thursday night on a fifth-degree theft charge. She is accused of keeping "The Freedom Writers Diary," which she checked out from the public library in nearby Jesup in April. Police say the book — which is about a high school teacher's effort to inspire students to write — is valued at $13.95. Court records show library employees tried repeatedly to contact Koontz by phone and mail. A police officer even visited her home last September. Officials at the Buchanan County jail say Koontz was released after posting $250 bond. No telephone listing for Koontz could be found in the Independence area. ___ Information from: The Gazette, http://www.gazetteonline.com/<http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/ap/ap_on_fe_st/storytext/odd_library_book_…> -- Ajay M.
