An overdue book was returned to a Pennsylvania library... finally.
A copy of The Cruise of the Esmeralda by Harry Collingwood was taken out from the Carbondale Public Library in 1904 by someone named Horace Short. The book was never returned, but it suddenly appeared at a book sale that another library was having. It's unknown where the book has been for 120 years, but it was in pretty good condition and still had a pocket inside the cover holding a card with Horace Short's name on it. Luckily for Mr. Short, overdue fines are capped at $10, otherwise the fine -- which was two-cents a day back in 1904 -- would add up to over $872.
