Slow reader indeed
This was another overdue book that arrived by mail with no name—but this time, the perpetrator paid! The book was The Real Book About Snakes, and it was out of an Ohio library from 1972 until 2013—41 years. Enclosed with the very precise fine of $299.30 (for two cents a day) was a letter reading, "Sorry I've kept this book so long, but I'm a really slow reader...my apologies!" If he's that slow a reader, we can't help but wonder how long it took him to write that letter. But that's the fun of library books, sometimes the past reader leaves a comment or a story behind! Check out the crazy mystery of this well-loved, marked-up library book.
