Louis Bay 2nd Public Library & Community Center — Attraction in Hawthorne

Apparently waiving a $11 fine because I was busy burying my grandfather is too much to ask for. Clearly if I spent $15,000 on the funeral I can afford to pay the overdue fine.

I am pretty reluctant to go to this...

They even gave out prizes for completing the...
