ENGLAND — The place is overrun with books, scatterered in wobbly towers across tables and too numerous for the stacks that are meant to contain them. For years, a cramped room in Lubavitch HQ in Stamford Hill has been home to the country's largest Jewish lending library.

FRAZIER Scam bust.
For more than a year, a city data-entry clerk allegedly gave some two dozen drivers what seemed like a great deal on their overdue parking tickets — promising that for half the value of what they owed, she'd make it all go away.

But Department of Finance clerk Karen Frazier wasn't only scamming the city — she was scamming her customers, too, prosecutors charged yesterday as the unhappy-looking alleged ticket-tamperer was hauled into court in cuffs.

Frazier would promise her customers she'd “take care of” their problem, but typically left them saddled with nonpayment penalties on top of their original, still-unpaid tickets — in worse shape than before they had met her, prosecutors said.

Stupid tix-fix Tricks
