The book called 'Back to Basics' by the editors of Flying Magazine was checked out nearly 16,000 days ago.
Earlier this month, it made its way back home, in a box of donations that was dropped off at the library's Hopewell branch.
"We found this old library book in there from our library system," says Andrea Merrick, the branch manager of the Hopewell branch of the Mercer County Library System."I think we're going to keep it for a while," Merrick says. "We will probably use it in some displays every once in a while." They posted about the book's return on social media, laughing that "at least they dodged the 10-cent fee since they managed to keep the checkout card intact "
"We have had a lot of people making comments like, 'What would be the fine for something like that?' and 'The library police came and got the book,'" she laughed. As for late fees, the library's current overdue rate is 10 cents. Add that up, and the total would be about $1,600.Library officials don't know who returned it, or where the book has been.In 1668, a book was borrowed from Sidney Sussex College at Cambridge University.Related Topics
