A man who borrowed a library book 46 years ago has finally returned it, but avoided a £2,500 fine.
David Hall borrowed the book, Engineering Workshop Practice, for his father from Derby Central Library.
Mr Hall, from Derby, was 10 when he took the book out in 1963 and only came across it again when he was clearing out a loft at his late father's home.
Derby City Council is currently running a books amnesty, which means Mr Hall does not have to pay the fine.
The amnesty, organised by Derby City Libraries, lasts until Wednesday and anyone who has an overdue book on loan can hand it in at any library without being penalised. |
