It was polite to return the book though, since it didn't belong to him. xD I would have given it back but not paid the late fees. :3 Oh well, it was a nice donation to the library, they can buy a lot of books with over $100.
I have a book sitting on my shelf from my middle school library. It was signed out two years ago. xd My sister checked it out and for some reason I found it in my room. O.o

I'm not sure i believe this article... here's my reasons:
1. the amount
- the fine would have been less than 1 cent per day
-the library also no longer had information on the book, so how would he know the amount? -if he were guessing the amount why is it such a odd number?
2. the book
- the only book i can find by that title was published around the year 2000
-he said he checked the book out June 2, 1960
- if he were so fascinated about learning about Egypt why would he check out a book written on a children's movie? it wouldn't have any facts in it except maybe a Bible verse. and he got it for a school project in the 9th grade
please mention any agreements or disagreements you have. i would like to discuss it past 'wow what a generous man'(though theres nothing wrong with praising a good deed)
i sent an email asking for some contact info for someone evolved and got a reply back from Mrs. Sue Zubiena, the same librarian mentioned in the article. i must admit here that I no believe I'm most likely wrong and apologize now for it. I'll post the answer's to the problems I had when i get them.

One, it is a shame he never finished to book.
Two, this is a testament to why I never check books out from libraries, they'd somehow end up not getting returned, since they'd end up cycling through my entire family for months and eventually lost.

sweatdrop Reminds me on how I should pay my late fees. It's really bad that I still owe $2.05 for having Les Miserables out two months over the due date.

Okay, I have to get this out of my system:
I salute the gentleman who brought a book back. I am a librarian. We generally just want the darn books back. The fines were probably based on the original max fine, plus maybe some interest, and may have been something he worked out with his library. My library puts a cap of approximately $50/book overdue fines, plus replacement costs if you never return it. Please, take your books back. Most libraries give you 3 weeks to read them, and unless it's a best-seller, you can often renew them.
(by the way: Prince of Egypt was probably a story long before it was a children's movie, if it's even related to the movie)

crystal_raye AOL.com HANCOCK, Mich. (Jan. 7) - Robert Nuranen handed the local librarian a book he'd checked out for a ninth-grade assignment - along with a check for 47 years' worth of late fees. Nuranen said his mother misplaced the copy of "Prince of Egypt" while cleaning the house. The family came across it every so often, only to set it aside again. He found it last week while looking through a box in the attic. "I figured I'd better get it in before we waited another 10 years," he said after turning it in Friday with the $171.32 check. "Fifty-seven years would be embarrassing." The book, with its last due date stamped June 2, 1960, was part of the young Nuranen's fascination with Egypt. He went on to visit that country and 54 others, and all 50 states, he said, but he never did finish the book. Nuranen now lives in Los Angeles, where he teaches seventh-grade social studies and language arts. The library had long ago lost any record of the book, librarian Sue Zubiena said. "I'm going to use it as an example," she said. "It's never too late to return your books." Holy crap eek Holy crap is right. eek eek
