is she a forrin?

oh come on
I know some English people that would struggle with this concept.

Yes but if she's a forrin,
then she can be let off a bit, as librarys like ours aren't universal.

How many times have you hit her since this incident?

Why not be pleased that someone might be discovering the joys of reading?
I mean, im assuming you are belittling her for not knowing how the local library works, right?

I mean, considering the state of local government funds, its surprising there isnt a fee for joining or taking books out

It's not just how the local library works.
It's how every public library in the country works. It's difficult to imagine how anyone could reach adulthood without acquiring this very basic piece of knowledge.

And how much are they charging for this service?

you should have told her that
she has to pay you, and only you, £1 for every book she would want to take out or read. You would be quids in.
