Billy Parrott, director of the Fifth Avenue branch, exclaimed, 'When you return a book, the first thing I do is open up and look at that due date card or the stamps. For me, as a librarian, there's nothing like that physical representation that this book has been read.' This highlights the personal connection and sentimental value associated with overdue library books.
The patron's mother faced several overdue notices, including a striking letter from February 1953 which warned, 'Since these communications have not been returned by the Post Office, I must assume you have received them.' This letter serves as a fascinating glimpse into the persistence of libraries in retrieving their books.
