A library in Laurel recently got some unexpected late returns: a CD and a vinyl record that were checked out decades ago.
At the Laurel branch of the Prince George’s County Memorial Library System, someone turned in Pink Floyd’s “Wish You Were Here” 35 years late.
“Staff found it in the book drop,” circulation supervisor Candice Washington said. “We have no idea who it is. A few weeks later, someone also turned in an Eddie Rabbitt vinyl 41 years late.”
“The staff are, honestly, really excited, and we don’t even carry CDs and vinyls anymore, so they were excited to see some old relics of things that we used to circulate,” Washington said.
The library isn’t looking to collect a fine.
“We actually did away with late fees in July 2020, so they technically wouldn’t owe anything,” Washington said.
But the library still hopes whoever returned the music will come forward.
Same as me because I owned a store full of them myself; A FOGEY!
An antiquary curiosity, like Fenway Park.
Where is Columbia House or BMG on your graph? 😁
Shine on, you crazy diamond.

Interesting.
I found the original source for the graphic, the original is highly interactive.
