Crazy or daft world records about books and libraries

Godfrey Oswald writes “As the author of the new book “Library World Records” I have been receiving several new world records about books and libraries, for inclusion in the new edition of “Library World Records” I am working on at the moment in my free time.

I must say that some of the submitted records are a bit daft, a bit weird, or just too funny to be included. But then some of these were sent by high school students!

So to to help fans around the world of “Library World Records” be sure of what kind of new world records will be okay to be submitted for listing in the second edition of “Library World Records”, I have complied some of brand new exciting records I have come across in my ongoing research project for the second edition.
