If someone goes through my personal effects after I am gone,
they will come across a couple of dozen books that
may look to them as being overdue library books.
I bought them at a library book sale many years ago.
They still have the “property of” stamps, and the card holders.

“...made a surprising discovery:
an overdue library book checked out by her grandfather...”
How would she know the book was checked out by her grandfather?
When you check out a book, you sign the card,
and the library keeps the card until you return the book.
The card does not stay with the book while it is checked out.
Probably found out when she returned the book...From old records...
