A book has been returned to a library in western Michigan — 49 years later.
The borrower told the library that he was a college student in 1967 when he checked out a book about World War II from the Herrick library in Holland. He wrote in a letter that the book was stored in a trunk that hadn’t been opened until recently. He also provided a donation with his letter.
Library director Diane Kooiker declined to identify the title of the book or the man’s name, citing privacy. She said he sent $100.
In his letter, the man described it as a “modest donation” on what could be a “tremendous fine.”
Kooiker tells The Grand Rapids Press that honest people sometimes can misplace a book.
Obama has defiled the Constitution many many times and skirts its real meaning by his ‘executive actions’. This is pitiful for the leader of the greatest country on earth to deviate from the good intentions of former founders of the USA. Injecting personal views is NOT the job of the Presiden. He forgets that he swore to uphold the Constitution of the United States when he was sworn into office. Just look how he has skirted his sworn duty so far..
