Overdue book returned to a library in Texas 44 years later

Tweet

A book named "Chilton's Auto Repair Manual 1954-1963" was checked out of the Abilene Library in Texas by the Abilene Water Department in 1979 when a person returned the book back to the library Tuesday. The mystery is what was the reason that the book was not returned to the library 44 years later since library officials decided to keep quiet about the details of the missing book which would have had the person who returned the book 44 years later a fine of $1,606 dollars. But since the late fee at the Abilene library have been waived so the penalty of returning the book 44 years later there will be no penalty. Link is https://www.upi.com/1301674594408
