110-year overdue book returned to library: 'Mysteries in history'
A book was returned to the Boise Public Library more than a century after it was checked out.
In a statement to NBC News, the Boise Public Library said, “New Chronicles of Rebecca - originally checked out from Boise's Carnegie Public Library in 1910! — was recently returned. With a fine of two cents per day for 111 years, whoever checked out this book would owe $803 — thank goodness the Boise Public Libraries are now fine free!”After library employees realized how old the book was, they began to look deeper into its origins to figure out where it could have come from.
