Have you ever handed in a library book late? Have you ever kept one so long that the “shame spiral” crept in? Well, at least you haven’t kept a library book out for nearly 120 years… probably. Just this year, the New Bedford Free Public Library in Massachusetts received a book that had been checked out about that many years before. We reached out to Caroline Land, manager of the Edmonton Public Library in Canada and the host of the “Overdue Finds” podcast, to learn more about what really happens with overdue books.
