Better late than never when a long overdue book was returned to the Manhattan public library.
The book was first checked out of the Fort Washington branch in 1958. The copy of “Fire of Francis Xavier”, a biography of the 16th century priest arrived at the library in a plain brown envelope.
A check for $100 was in the envelope to cover late fees.
Library manager Jennifer Zarr says their records don’t go back that far, so there’s no way to trace who borrowed the book,
The name on the check will not be revealed.
