I have bought many OLD "historic" books when libraries have a sale. They discard books all the time.
New York libraries no longer have fines. It's not a big deal.

You are posting a thread every time someone does this.
It is a meaningless story.

I love stories like this.
I had a library book that I lost so had to pay the library the cover price to replace the book. Then I later found the book in some luggage. The library would not take it back and told me to keep it.
So now, a hundred years from now, after I'm dead, one of my grandchildren will find this book and try taking it back to the library, which will surely rattle some cages.

A little fun with inflation.
The $656 works out to about a 2 cents per day fine for 32,812 days late.
Applying inflation to the 2 cents would give us about an equivalent fine of 46 cents per day.
At 32,812 late days, the fine would be $15,093 in todays dollars.
