Person returns overdue book to San Antonio Public Library 82 years after it was checked out

An overdue book checked out when Franklin Delano Roosevelt was president has found its way back to the San Antonio Public Library. Earlier this summer, an Oregon resident retuned the book Your Child, His Family, and Friends by Frances Bruce Strain, which their grandmother checked out in July 1943 and was due to return 28 days later, according to SAPL officials. The individual wrote a letter to the library saying they discovered the long-errant tome while sorting through the belongings of their late father. “When I noticed it was from the San Antonio Public Library, I decided to send it back to you,” the letter said, according to SAPL officials.
