Reader finds large sum of money in library book

An AP Wire Piece from Mississippi reports a former employee at Armstrong Library pulled a mystery novel off a shelf and noticed a bulge in its dust jacket. She opened the book and discovered what library officials termed was a “substantial” sum of money.

“I felt something in there, and from my time working here, I just had to straighten it out and felt in there and pulled it out,” Armstrong said. “I thought, `Whoa, wait a minute.'”
