Woman arrested for tardy book returns

EASTON, Conn. (CTPost.com) -- A Trumbull woman has been arrested after police said she was tardy bringing back books she checked out for her children from the public library.

Nancy Harris, 58, of Paugusett Circle, Trumbull, who also worked at the library, was booked Tuesday on one count of fifth-degree larceny. She was released on a promise to appear in court pending arraignment on Thursday in state Superior Court in Bridgeport.

According to police, in July Bernadette Baldino, the director of the public library, complained that Harris, an employee of the library, had been using her Trumbull library card and two Easton library cards she had signed up for in the names of her two children, to borrow numerous books, DVDs and magazines from the library. Baldino told police Harris' children were not eligible to receive a town library card because they are not Easton residents.
