You may have been late returning a library book, but how about 50 years late?A customer recently returned some books to the Cincinnati & Hamilton County Public Library in Cincinnati, Ohio, with a shocking note. The library shared the note and photos of the books returned: “2001 A Space Odyssey” “The Origin of Species and Descent of Man” and “A Field Guide to the Mammals.”The library branch shared the photos with the note left, reading, “I checked these books out as a 16 year old back in 1976. Fascinated by science, nature and the future, I was eager to learn more. As time went by, these books got “misplaced” and never returned. All fines and late fees were paid long ago. But, I’ve found these books, and believe it’s time to return them now. Again, sorry it took so long to bring them back.”
