I froze my overdue library book before returning it, cause the library froze my account due to previous late return fees. They charged for the whole book saying it was ruined. I tried arguing that I was doing them a favor by preserving it like they did Walt Disney. They didn’t find it amusing.
I don’t suggest you do this prank on your public library, but… next time you pay a parking ticket, freeze your check, put it on some dry ice, put it in a little styrofoam container, and send it in. That’ll show em… sort of.

Mainly a frozen library refers to frozen blood, virus specimens, or animals; but who says books aren’t worthy of being frozen? What a wonderful way to preserve the Guttenburg Bible.
I need to patened this technique… and fast. Just think Book Cryogenics!
