A Texas stay-at-home mom said she was trying to renew her driver’s license when she learned there was a warrant for her arrest stemming from overdue library books.
“I was so angry. I was sad and mad,” Kaylee Morgan told NBC News in a phone call Wednesday. “The whole week leading up to court I couldn’t decide if I wanted to laugh or cry.”
Morgan, a mother of five children, said she took five or sixbooks out from the Navasota Public Library in Navasota, about 115 miles east of Austin, last March for her homeschooled children.
At the time, Morgan said she was pregnant and experiencing hyperemesis, extreme morning sickness, and placenta previa, when the placenta covers the opening in the cervix.
It can cause bleeding around the start of the second half of pregnancy and mild cramping or contractions, according to the Cleveland Clinic.
Morgan said the books were between a few weeks to a month late when her husband dropped them off, except for one that did not fit in the library’s drop box. Her stepson later dropped the book off inside the library, she said.
NBC affiliate KPRC of Houston obtained a copy of the overdue notice from the library that showed Morgan had two books due on March 31, 2023.
The notice, dated April 10, 2023, said she owed a fee of $1.
