Worcester Public Library is forgiving fees for lost or damaged books (like most Massachusetts public libraries, it already doesn't have late fees) if you bring in picture of your cat.
"If you don’t have a cat? No problem. One cat-less 7-year-old boy, who never returned a “Captain Underpants” book, had his library card reactivated after the staff gave him paper and crayons to sketch one."
