As seen on TV – and elsewhere

As seen on TV – and elsewhere

About a week ago, we put up a post on our webpage about one of our books getting returned after 90 years. We thought it would be an interesting and amusing way to explain a little about what happens when books are overdue. Little did we know. That afternoon, Jeff Edwards from the Larchmont Patch came and talked to us about the book and took a few pictures. The next morning, this article appeared. We were thrilled the Patch had noticed our post. Little did we know.Read More Read More

Overdue Library Book Returned (only 90 years late)

Overdue Library Book Returned (only 90 years late)

We recently received an interesting package sent here from Virginia. Inside was a library book that was due on October 11th, 1933, one month shy of 90 years ago. The book, “Youth and Two Other Stories” by Joseph Conrad, was published in 1925. Now, I know what you are all thinking; I wonder how much that would be in overdue fees? At twenty cents a day, it seems like the fine could easily have reached over $6,400. But no, the real answer isRead More Read More
