In a rare turn of events, a Latin book that was borrowed from UCL Libraries in 1974 has now been returned roughly 50 years later! What's more, the book was accompanied by a cheeky note by the anonymous person who returned it. The note read, reports Evening Standard, "Dear Librarian, I fear this book is some 50 years overdue! Please don’t just throw it out, now that I’ve taken the time and trouble to return it. It must be an ‘antique’ by now.”
The news was shared by UCL News on Twitter with the caption: "Dear Librarian, I fear this book is some 50 years overdue!”: Anonymous borrower finally returns their book to UCL Libraries which was due in 1974 and could have racked up fines of £1,254 - alongside a hand-written note.
