? 1 fun thing: 82 years late

Photo: San Antonio Public Library When this copy of "Your Child, His Family and Friends" was last checked out from the San Antonio Public Library, FDR was president and the movie adaptation of "For Whom the Bell Tolls" had just premiered. This summer, the wandering book finally returned home — 82 years later — from Oregon, Axios San Antonio's Madalyn Mendoza writes. ? The library received an unmarked package from Oregon containing the well-worn parenting book by Frances Bruce Strain, as well as a note. The sender, who did not include a name, explained they discovered it while sorting through their late father's belongings. The sender believes their grandmother checked it out when their father was 11, but never returned it after she was transferred to work at the U.S. Embassy in Mexico City. Luckily, the San Antonio Public Library got rid of late fees in 2021. The sender's note said: "Grandma won't be able to pay for it anymore."
