RSSIts Never Too Late To Return Your Overdue Library Books
We all worry about getting the books back to the library in time and finding that one book that was misplaced. Well, Robert Nuranen of Los Angeles found his long lost library book and returned it. 47 years later!
Nuranen handed the local librarian a book he’d checked out for a ninth-grade assignment along with a check for 47 years’ worth of late fees.
Nuranen said his mother misplaced the copy of “Prince of Egypt” while cleaning the house. The family came across it every so often, only to set it aside again. He found it last week while looking through a box in the attic.
“I figured I’d better get it in before we waited another 10 years,” he said after turning it in Friday with the $171.32 check. “Fifty-seven years would be embarrassing.”
The book, with its last due date stamped June 2, 1960, was part of the young Nuranen’s fascination with Egypt. He went on to visit that country and 54 others, and all 50 states, he said, but he never did finish the book. via ABC News
