Overdue Library Books Returned After 52 Years

Posted by | October 17, 2015 12:00 | Filed under: Good News Pot Luck


The books were returned to the Portland State University library without a note.

The well-thumbed volumes showed up in a book drop this month, paired by a rubber band that also held a handwritten note.”‘Borrowed’ these books about 1963 for my high-school speech class,” the individual wrote. “They have moved with me many times.”

“It is now time for them (to) go back home. Outdated – yes – but I’ll let you decide their fate now.”

    Outdated, but undoubted still useful. Also completely incomprehensible to any RWNJ.

    Longest overdue book: 288 years by Robert Walpole. Always knew the Whigs were no good…
