Historic overdue book finally returned to Massachusetts library after 119 years
A library book that was checked out almost 120 years ago from the New Bedford Library in Massachusetts has been found in West Virginia and returned. The book, titled "An Elementary Treatise on Electricity" by James Clerk Maxwell, was discovered by the rare books curator at West Virginia University. The library posted about the return on Facebook, emphasizing that it's never too late to return an overdue library book. The late fee for the book was capped at just $2.
