Better late than never.
The Auckland Public Library in New Zealand shared a photo on Wednesday of a book that was finally returned, 67 years after its due date. **
The book, Myths and Legends of Maoriland by author A.W Reed was supposed to be returned to the Epsom Library on December 17, 1948.*
However, the library says that the woman, who was just a kid when she borrowed the book, moved out of Auckland and accidentally took the it with her. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The book was actually in good condition, so the library decided to waive the late fees.*
"We were just stoked to have the book back and hear such a cool story," the library wrote on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/epsomlibrary/photos/a.141803602507161.19034.107877395899782/1152984924722352/?type=3&theater&**tif_t=**tify_me_page&**tif_id=1461810207896334).* Read more...
