Just a Tad Overdue: Library Book Returned 90 Years Later

syndication-the-topeka-capital-journal-7

(Larchmont, NY) – After a library book was returned to a Westchester County library — 90 years late — the borrower should have been on the hook for around $6,000 in fees. But the official policy for Larchmont Public Library is that after a certain period of time a book is considered “lost,” and the fee is capped at $5. So, after a copy of Joseph Conrad’s “Youth and Two Stories” was returned from Virginia (having first been taken out in October of 1933), the library decided to waive the fee — and thanked the borrower.
