Talk About A Late Fee!

I wonder if the gentleman in this story would have dared try this with the World's Most Dangerous Librarian?

99 years later, library book returned

A 75-year-old man from Mansfield walked into the New Bedford Public Library on Monday to return a book that was due in 1910.

Stanley Dudek returned “Facts I Ought to Know about the Government of My Country’’ by William H. Bartlett, which was due on May 2, 1910. Dudek said he had found the book in his mother’s possessions after she died in 1998. He said he did not
realize it was a library book until last year.

The late fee, assessed at a penny a day and not adjusted for inflation, was calculated at $363. It was waived. When asked why he suddenly returned the book after all this time, he quipped,

"Have you seen today's librarians? They've got guns and stuff!"

That is all.
