Strange: Library Gets Book That Was Lent After 90 Years!

There is a famous dialogue in Thalaivar Rajinikanth’s Muthu which says if one is entitled to anything then he or she will get it someday and if they are not entitled to anything then they will not get it no matter what. There is a lot of philosophy behind the dialogue.

Now everyone remembers this dialogue as a Library received its back after a long back of as many as 90 years. No one would have predicted that they would see such things. But this happened in real and everyone is talking about the rare incident. The late fee imposed also surprised many.

Usually, when the due date of giving back the books is completed, it is common for the library to impose a fine. As the book took 90 years to reach the library, people would think a massive amount would be imposed as a fine. But the library charged a mere $5.

As per the media reports, there is an old library in Westchester County in the New York State. Back on October 11, 1933, the library gave Youth and Two Other Stories book to a person. A person named Jimmie Ellis took the book. However, he could not return the book as he passed away in 1978.

After his demise, his family members forgot about this. His family members found the book and sent it to the library. The library organisers were shocked to face a pleasant surprise and took to social media to share the same.

"We recently received an interesting package sent here from Virginia. Inside was a library book that was due on October 11th, 1933, one month shy of 90 years ago. The book, “Youth and Two Other Stories” by Joseph Conrad, was published in 1925. Now, I know what you are all thinking; I wonder how much that would be in overdue fees? At twenty cents a day, it seems like the fine could easily have reached over $6,400. But no, the real answer is only $5!," the library said on social media.
