American media: The 89 -year -olds in the United States have also borrowed a book 75 years ago.

[Global Times Comprehensive Report] According to the US Fox News Network on the 16th, a man named Bob Jabonzky, New Jersey, New Jersey in the United States recently returned a book from the Library of Jersey. The book borrowed by the department. When borrowing the book, Jorblonski was a student, and when he returned the book 75 years later, he was an 89 -year -old man. It is reported that when he recently cleaned the house, he discovered the book, and even the book borrowed card in the book. Although he came back to the book after 75 years, he did not have to pay any fines. It turned out that last year, the Jersey Library formulated a policy of exempting fines overdue. The museum said that the cancellation of overdue repayment fines can encourage more people to borrow books to eliminate obstacles to people who do not want to borrow books and read. Since the promulgation of this policy, the library has received a large number of books that return overdue, including more than decades of time.

However, the United States has previously had a precedent for paying a huge amount of fines overdue. An American woman found a book borrowed by her mother's early years in her mother's house, and the date of the book was April 19, 1955. When the woman returned the book, 47 years have passed. In the end, her overdue payback fines were 345.14 US dollars, and this amount was also recorded in the Guinness World Record as the world's highest overdue repayment fine. (Zhen Xiang)
