A library book checked out in New Jersey 44 years ago has finally returned. "Back to Basics" was checked out of the Hopewell Branch of the Mercer Library on July 25th, 1979, making it overdue by 16-thousand days. A maintenance worker found it recently in a box of donated books. No word on where the book has been or who returned it. Late fees are ten-cents a day which would make the fine 16-hundred-dollars, if the library didn't cap its late fees at just six-bucks.
