Decades-overdue library books returned with a note

Ever since the New York Public Library eliminated fines for overdue books, it has been flooded with returns. Some of the books were overdue by 50 years. Several books and an anonymous handwritten note were dropped off at the New York Public Library in Midtown recently. "'I am 75 years old now and these books have helped me through motherhood and my teaching career,'" New York Public Library President Tony Marx said, reading the letter. "'Enclosed are books I have borrowed and kept in my house for 28 to 50 years.'"
