132 years overdue and the fine is still cheaper than my parking ticket.

Library magazine returned 132 years after it was due

A magazine borrowed from a library in 1893 has been returned 132 years late, according to a post shared on Reddit. The item, checked out in the late 19th century, was handed back to the library this week, making it one of the longest overdue returns on record. No word on the fine, which by standard daily rates would run into the tens of thousands, or on what the borrower was reading that took a century and a half to finish.
