Often times, the local library will waive a fine if it's just a few days' worth. Hell, even if the charge you, ours is like a nickel a day for a book and $1 a day for a dvd. But even then, you usually can borrow a dvd for two weeks (1 week inter-librabry loan). With items that are borrowed via inter-library loan and you picked it up at your local library, they generally enforce the fine when you return it late because they have don't have the authority to waive another library's fine.
I once accidentally threw out a borrowed dvd in my recyclables dumpster at the local transfer station. It was an older dvd so I just bought a new copy ($5 on eBay) and explained what happened when I returned it.
Your local library is one of the places well worth supporting (not that other charities aren't) when we consider the uses of which we can avail ourselves throughout the year.
