A book checked out a half-century ago has been anonymously returned to a library in northeastern Pennsylvania, officials say.
PLYMOUTH, Pa. -- A book checked out a half-century ago has been anonymously returned to a library in northeastern Pennsylvania, officials said.
An accompanying unsigned letter, written as if by the book itself, said “Fifty years ago , a little girl checked me out of this library in 1971. At this time, she didn't know they were going to move from Plymouth. Back then, kids weren't told things like that. The writer, speaking in her own voice rather than as the book, then says she often intended to send the book back but somehow never got around to it.
The letter writer said she knew the $20 wouldn’t come close to paying the accrued fine, but suggested “Perhaps you can pay off some fines of some kids with it.”
