'Apologetic customer' returns library book 67 years late

A woman has returned a library book to an Auckland Public Library in New Zealand, 67 years after it was due to be returned.

The lady - who they say was very apologetic’ - borrowed ’Myths and Legends of Maoriland’ by author A.W Reed when she was a child and although she was meant to return it on December 17, 1948, she and her family moved and she never got the chance.

The library shared a photo of the book to its Facebook, showing the last date stamped.
