Better late than never goes the saying. And in this case better very late than never. Borrowed almost 110 years ago at the Carnegie Public Library in Boise, Idaho, a copy of the New Chronicles of Rebecca, by author Kate Douglas Wiggin, will finally find her place of belonging.
The novel had been re-recorded in a nearby library and it took the sagacity of an employee, who noticed a sticker on the book, to get everything back to normal, reports the American channel CNN. The book is in very good state as seen in photos shared on the Boise Library Facebook page.
A note on the inside cover states that “Books can be kept for two weeks without renewal, unless otherwise specified. fine of two cents per day is imposed for overdue booksFortunately for her, the person who borrowed the novel stopped paying the fines in 2019. If the latter had continued with the payments, the bill would have been $ 803, CNN calculates.
