A Library Book That Is 84 Years Overdue Finally Returned

STANFORD, CA - DECEMBER 17: A man browses through books at the Cecil H. Green on the Stanford University Campus December 17, 2004 in Stanford, California. Google, the internet search engine, has announced a long-term project to put 15 million books from seven of the world's most prestigious libraries online and make them searchable. Included will be the libraries of Harvard, Stanford, the University of Michigan, the New York Public Library and the University of Oxford, including the Bodleian. Books and periodicals will be scanned and project is expected to take six years and cost more than $100 million. (Photo by Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)

A copy of the book “Red Deer” by Richard Jefferies was borrowed from a library back in 1983! It was borrowed by Captain William Humphries from the Earlsdon Carnegie Community Library, located in Coventry, England!

Captain Humphries borrowed the book about nature for his daughter, Anne. His grandson recently found the book while clearing out his mothers (Anne) home. Anne had recently passed away. Paddy Riordan, returned the book 84-years later and the looks on the workers faces were of shock. Now you’d think the library fee would be really high, but it actually wasn’t. The library didn’t even ask for the back fee’s, but Paddy Riordan paid about $21 US which is what the fees would have amounted to. He made it as a donation.

He wasn’t sure why his grandfather never returned the book. But inside the books are reminders to return them as soon as your done with it, even if you finish it before the allotted time.

Before the book was borrowed by Captain Humphries, it was issued to only eight others before.
