Woman Returns Overdue Library Book 68 Years Later

Even after so many years, the book was in ‘excellent well-read condition’, Epsom Community Library wrote in a Facebook post.

The woman told the library staff that she took Myths and Legends of Maoriland as a child and now is a grandmother herself. She said she had read the book a number of times over the years.

But since the book was issued on 17 December, 1948 and should have been returned in a week’s time, she actually has a heavy fine to be paid.

According to the terms of the library, the woman should be fined 102.50 pounds for the 24,604 days it was overdue that too if not adjusted with the inflation.

luckily, the woman does not have to pay a single penny.

She “took such good care of the book that we couldn’t possibly charge her!” the library said.
