Seems like we haven’t had an overdue story in ages… The Wait Is Over: A public library book issued in 1945 has racked up an overdue fees bill for $6,114 _ but the book’s borrower has had the fine waived.
“The Punch Library of Humour,” borrowed from Rotorua Public Library 61 years ago, was recently found among family belongings in a house attic in the central North Island tourist city.
A building inspector recognized the significance of the book and, using the list of strict borrowing rules pasted to the front cover, calculated what was owed in overdue fines.
So…
We were overdue for an overdues story?
