Never Too Late |
|
 Officials at Baltimore’s Enoch Pratt Free Library said that someone recently returned a book that was checked out in 1946. Library officials said the book was returned by John Wolfe, of St. Louis in the U.S.A, who said in an accompanying letter that he checked it out when he was a soldier recuperating from surgery at Fort Meade after World War II. He said he just recently found the book in his private library and decided to return it. The library said it’s better late than never. The book is still in pristine condition and has the original due date card in the back. The dates of when patrons checked out the book in the 1930s and 1940s are still visible. There’s a $6 maximum fine on adult books and $3 on children’s books, so no one has to worry about paying hundreds of dollars if their books are years overdue. (Source: http://news1.capitalbay.com)
