"Guilt Ridden" Patron Returns Book 24 Years Late

Donna Corpus of Portsmouth, VA took advantage of a library amnesty program to return a book 24 years late.  She originally checked out the book, Butterflies Are Free to help with a play addition.  According to this article, the book wound up in a box marked "pictures" and left the woman "guilt ridden." Under the amnesty program, Corpus donated food in place of the fine. The book will probably be placed back in circulation.  UPI

And that's all that happened.  Nothing dramatic, no claiming of hospitalization, no fights to the death to claim that she renewed it over 600 times.  Just a donated food bath to wash all the sins away, huh?  Despicable.

Christopher Anspach, 28, served 10 days in jail plus a fine for not returning library books from the Newton Public Library in Newton, Iowa.  The gentleman was given multiple chances to return the books and other materials, worth around $770, before the police were contacted.

No update as to whether he was laughed at so hard by the other inmates that he was physically blasted from his cell by the force of sound alone and further charged with escaping from jail via being a dumbass.  Return your damn library books, people!
