Bob Jablonski, who lives in Jersey City, New Jersey, USA, returned Oden Rudolph’s Hitler book, which he borrowed from the Jersey City Public Library when he was 14, after 75 years.
FOUND WHEN CLEANING
According to the news of İHA, Jablonski, who delivered the book he borrowed from the library when he was 14, at the age of 89, said that he found the book while he was cleaning his house.
Stating that there was no wear or damage in the book returned by Jablonski, library officials said, “Staff are very curious about the book and Jablonski’s library experience in 1947. However, they do not remember the details of Jablonski’s visit.”
It was learned that there was a library reference card among the book.
“DON’T BE FEAR OF PAYING THE PENALTY”
“If someone is put in the same situation as Mr. Jablosnki, please don’t be afraid to pay thousands of dollars in fines. Mr. Jablonski brought the book back 70 years later with no debt, and you can do it too,” said Kate Davis Hudson, Deputy Director of the Jersey City Public Library.
The Jersey City Public Library last year abolished the penalty fee charged to readers for overdue books.
