On Monday, a paperback was returned to the Prince George Public Library, exactly 33 years and four months after it was first due.
Panther, a junior paperback by Roderick Haig-Brown, still had its original Prince George Public Library loan card inside, stating the book was due for return no later than March 5, 1977.
The book was dropped off in the return slot and there's no way to track down who last checked it out because it was borrowed before computer systems were introduced to the library.
The library caps its maximum overdue fee for books at $5 per item. If there was no maximum, the 20 cents per day overdue charge would've ballooned to $2,433.
