SNIP

A Beatles cassette tape that was checked out of the San Antonio Public Library 44 years ago was finally returned this month, officials said.

The tape, a recording of an interview with Beatles members John Lennon and Paul McCartney, was recently left anonymously in a book return drop box, SAPL said in a Facebook post.

“Have you ever checked out an item from SAPL and never had a chance to return it?” The library posted on Nov. 20. “Can you believe this recording of The Beatles was checked out from Westfall Branch Library 44 years ago and returned to us recently?”

In Copperas Cove, Texas, my daughter had taken out a workout video from the library (approx 2006). She never returned it. About a year later she was shocked when the police showed up to arrest her. Yes, she was arrested and was told she could return the video or spend three days in jail to pay for it.

Three days in jail and she still has the video (which she found much later). I asked if she was going to return it and she said, “Hell no! I paid for that damn thing!”

I can’t believe there’s no “Bookman” or “Cantstandya” memes yet.

In before....

I have a couple of books from junior high I would return but I don’t want to end up on the news

Ditto. Maybe I'll just mail them in with no return address.

“Paul, did you die?”

“Uh, no . . .”

“They said you did.”

“Yeah, prove it!”

I have a library's hardcover book entitled "911" that was checked out on June 20, 1977.. 45 years ago!

It's quite chilling because it has an abstract image of the twin towers on the cover!

Bookman...a great name for that character and brilliantly portrayed by the actor.

Absolute hilarious scenes with him!

‘Married With Children’ ‘He Thought He Could’

Steve finds a book in the box and takes it out.

STEVE Hey, look at this. The book that inspired my whole life.

AL “Wanda the Preppy Hippo”?

STEVE “The Little Engine That Could”. Is this my book, Al?

AL No, it’s not, and I can prove it. Look here. [Al looks inside the book’s cover and shows
it to Peg] There, “Property of the Oakwood Library.”

PEGGY Uh, gee Al, it’s a little overdue. 1957 is passed, isn’t it?

Is it possible for you to scan or take a photo of the cover of that book and post it?

THIS BOOK WAS PUBLISHED 25 YEARS BEFORE 9/11..

Here's the book cover, Copyright 1976 by Thomas Chastain. Chilling, to say the least!!:
