Feb. 10 (UPI) —<\/span> A copy of J.D. Salinger<\/a>‘s The Catcher in the Rye <\/i>was returned to a Manitoba library more than 33 years after its due date.<\/p>\n

Jennifer Walton said she and her husband were doing some spring cleaning when she came across a box of books that contained the tome<\/a> she had checked out from the St. Vital Library when she was a college student at Glenlawn College in the late 1980s.\n<\/p>\n

Librarians at the Winnipeg Public Library initially thought the book<\/a> had been due back in 1999, due to the unclear stamp, but Walton confirmed the due date had actually been Nov. 10, 1989, making it more than 33 years overdue.<\/p>\n

“I was a little horrified that it was this late,” Walton told CBC News.<\/a><\/p>\n

She delivered the book in person along with some “chocolates of contrition” for library staff.<\/p>\n

Barbara Bourrier-Lacroix, administrative coordinator of collections and borrower services at the Winnipeg Public Library, said the book was in excellent condition.<\/p>\n

“I was surprised at what good shape it was in, but I guess that’s what happens when it sits in a box for 33 years,” she said.\n<\/p>\n

Walton was not fined for her late return, as the library did away with late fees in 2021.<\/p>\n
