A book checked out in 1933 was recently returned to the Larchmont Public Library in Larchmont, New York, after it was discovered in a deceased man's possessions.
A library in New York got quite the surprise in late September when it received a returned book that was nearly nine decades overdue. 'We recently received an interesting package sent here from Virginia. Inside was a library book that was due on October 11th, 1933, one month shy of 90 years ago,' the Larchmont Public Library in Larchmont, New York, shared on Facebook on Wednesday, October 11.
When a library book has not been returned after 30 days, it is considered ‘lost’ and the patron is billed for the initial price of the book,' said the library. 'However, when the book is returned, it reverts back to the maximum fine, which is five dollars.' 'No matter how long a Larchmont Public Library book is overdue, if it gets returned, the maximum fine is a whopping five bucks,' the library noted on its social media page.
That copy’s going to stay out of circulation,' Cunningham told the New York Post. She also said the library will 'probably have it just to keep because it’s a funny story.' For more Lifestyle articles, visit www.foxnews.com/lifestyle.
