The book, titled "Youth and Two Other Stories" by Joseph Conrad, was originally due on Oct. 11, 1933.

The Larchmont Public Library received the book all the way from Virginia, thanks to a woman who was going through her step-father's belongings.

As for late fees, it turned out to be only $5, which is the maximum fine at the library regardless of how long an item is overdue.
