The book was recently returned a whopping 16,060 days overdue.

TEXAS (Web Desk) - A library said a book recently returned after 44 years would have amassed a $1,606 late fee if the facility hadn t since gone fine-free.

The Abilene Public Library said in a Facebook post that the book, Chilton s Auto Repair Manual 1954-1963, was checked out by the city s Water Department 44 years ago.

The book was recently returned a whopping 16,060 days overdue. The library did not reveal what led to the book being returned so late.

The post said the book would have amassed $1,606 in late fees under the library s old system, but the facility has eliminated all fees.
